TULISOC – Tularemia International Society

Francisella tularensis

The interest and the increasing need for communication, exchange of experience and materials, and training in diagnostics and research methods has led to the idea of creating an international scientific society focusing on Tularemia.

Under the umbrella and with active participation of WHO, a group of scientists has met twice in Berlin at the Robert Koch-Institut in 2008/2009 to develop this idea. Finally, the 6th International Conference on Tularemia which was held at Charité, Berlin, from 13 to 16 September 2009 was used to establish the a non-profit organisation: TULAREMIA INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY – with the abbreviations TULISOC.

TULISOC intends to:

  • facilitate and encourage the assembly, acquaintance and association of scientists from all geographical regions engaged in tularaemia research;
  • foster and encourage discussion and dissemination of the results of research and related matters of interest in this field;
  • provide a means to convene appropriate specialists that will serve as a ready resource in the case of specific needs and emergencies;
  • promote awareness of the field and of the implications of the research findings;
  • promote education and training in the field.

Advisory Groups

In the case of specific needs and emergencies, the Executive Committee may appoint appropriate specialists to act as a temporary Advisory Group to provide information, education and/or training to individuals within and outside the Society. Advisory Groups are dissolved upon completion of their charge.

The International Conferences fulfill a major purpose of the Tularemia International Society, namely to facilitate the assembly, acquaintance, and association of scientists engaged in tularemia research.  Tularemia meetings focus on fundamental, clinical, and applied research regarding any aspect of Francisella tularensis.  Research uncovers not only the biology of this fascinating bacterium, but also provides the basis for future development of treatments, preventive interventions, and disease diagnosis.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

The Society shall sponsor an International tularemia Conference every third year to highlight research efforts on the pathogenesis, cell biology, pathogenesis, animal models, diagnostics, vaccines, therapeutics, clinical features, ecology, epidemiology, and host responses to Francisella.  An overreaching goal of the three day program is to provide an environment that will serve to promote connections and collaboration among scientists doing cutting edge research regarding Francisella.The Society shall endeavour to have the meeting rotate among a variety of geographical areas. This conference shall be managed by the Symposium Committee.

Awards

The Society may award a prize or prizes at the General Meetings. These may take the form of prizes for (a) excellent work as a student or scholarship applicant, (b) recognition of accomplishment in the field, or for (c) service to TULISOC. Award decisions will be made by the Scientific Committee.

Awarding of prizes in category (a) is encouraged at all scientific meetings and should be included in meeting budgets. Awarding of other prizes is contingent upon appropriate nominations and recommendations and need not be made annually. Such prizes may or may not include a monetary award or memento.
