DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The fundamental hypothesis of the organizers of this conference is that progress in the field of osteoimmunology, which is the study of the interactions of bone, hematopoietic and immune cells in health and disease, will be delayed unless better communication is established between bone biologists, hematologist and immunologists. The goal of The Fourth International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems is to bring together scientists from these fields in a setting that will facilitate interactions and new collaboration and hasten progress towards understanding the interconnections of the immune, hematopoietic and skeletal systems. Our three previous meeting were fully subscribed and considerable successes. One hundred forty to one hundred fifty participants from all over the world attended each. Three specific aims are proposed: Specific Aim 1 Bring together a faculty of invited speakers who are internationally recognized for their high level of scientific achievement and areas of scientific focus that span the diverse field of osteoimmunology. Specific Aim 2 Structure the conference to promote interactions among all investigators including invited speakers and attendees to promote the development of new collaborations and hasten the advancement of the field. Specific Aim 3 Provide a forum for junior investigators to interact with senior scientists. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: It has only recently been appreciated that the immune and skeletal systems have major interactions. However, in the past, scientists who studied each of these disciplines often failed to fully appreciate the role of the other system. We believe that a primary way to enhance collaborations between scientists in these previously separate disciplines is to bring the members of both fields together at a conference in which all participants can interact freely and share ideas. Towards this goal, we will convene the Fourth International Conference on Osteoimmunology: Interactions of the Immune and Skeletal Systems at the Corfu Chandris Conference Center, Corfu, Greece from June 17-22, 2012.

描述（由申请人提供）：本次会议组织者的基本假设是，骨气免疫学领域的进步是对骨骼，造血和免疫细胞在健康和疾病中的相互作用的研究，除非在骨骼生物学家，血液学家和免疫学家之间建立更好的沟通。第四届骨气免疫学国际会议的目标：免疫和骨骼系统的相互作用是将这些领域的科学家汇集在一起​​，以促进互动和新的合作，并加速进步，以了解免疫，血肿和骨骼系统的互连。我们上次的三次会议得到了完全订阅，并取得了巨大的成功。来自世界各地的一百四十至150名参与者参加了每个人。提出了三个具体的目标：具体目标1将受邀演讲者组成，他们因其高水平的科学成就和科学重点领域而受到国际认可，这些领域跨越了骨气免疫学的各种领域。特定目标2结构会议，以促进所有调查人员之间的互动，包括受邀发言人和与会者，以促进新合作的发展并加快该领域的发展。特定目标3为初级调查人员提供了一个论坛，以与高级科学家互动。 公共卫生相关性：直到最近，免疫系统和骨骼系统都有主要的相互作用。但是，过去，研究了这些学科的每个学科的科学家常常无法完全欣赏另一个系统的作用。我们认为，在这些以前独立的学科中，加强科学家之间合作的主要方法是将两个领域的成员聚集在一起，在该会议上，所有参与者都可以自由互动并分享想法。为了实现这一目标，我们将在2012年6月17日至22日在希腊科富岛的科福·钱德里斯会议中心举行的第四届骨气免疫学国际会议：免疫和骨骼系统的相互作用。
