It is with great delight that we welcome you to the 15th Rajka Symposium for Atopic Dermatitis in Melbourne, Australia, the land of the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation: 24-26 October 2025, the centenary year of Professor Georg RAJKA’s birth.
Dreaming for the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People recounts the creation of life and renewal, mirroring the stories of ISAD and of the evolving landscape of atopic dermatitis research and treatment. This meeting gives occasion to recall these histories, to reflect on current challenges still faced at environmental, social, personal, and molecular levels, and to reconsider strategic future directions for eczema research and care. Our symposium theme is therefore History, Memory, and Retelling. We will also highlight evolving understandings of risk determinants for AD and immunological pathways affecting AD development and persistence. The symposium will be valuable for all clinicians, researchers, residents, and students who wish to be current in atopic dermatitis research and management.
We are privileged to have Professor Peter DOHERTY among our list of distinguished speakers. Together with Prof. Rolf ZINKERNAGEL, he was awarded the 1996 Nobel Prize in medicine for ground-breaking work on T cells.
Melbourne, located in south-east Australia, was recently voted the world’s most liveable city for 8 consecutive years. A cosmopolitan and multicultural city, it has become known for its coherent and unassuming fusion of European, Asian, and many other influences. Our conference venue will be the Grand Hyatt, located in central Melbourne within an easy walk of the sporting, shopping, and entertainment districts. We look forward to welcoming you to the great Southern Land, to a unique event for information exchange, learning, and both the creation and renewal of friendships for all those dedicated to improving the lives of those with atopic dermatitis.
