IMMUNOBONE aims to foster the collaboration of leading researchers in the fields of immunology, bone biology, rheumatology and orthopedic surgery to facilitate cutting edge research in the field of osteoimmunology in Germany. The IMMUNOBONE program has been managed according to a steering committee composed of the coordinator, the 3 section coordinators and the project Ieaders. The steering committee is supported by a project manager I coordinator to improve the networking and internal communication within the program and also informs the public about the IMMUNOBONE project. We will follow the strategy of the first funding period, which has led to numerous cooperative projects resulting in successful publications. The Annual Meeting, differentiated educational programs and the IMMUNOBONE-website are important instruments for networking within the consortium. We will identify important scientific results from the individual projects and edit them for the broad public placing them in the media. We will also present the IMMUNOBONE priority program in scientific festivals to interested persons including patients, students and school children.
