Reglonal and Affinlty Groups The BSI'S Reglonal and Affinity Groups are a key part of the BSI community and carry out much of the core activity of bringin8 our member5hlp together. The scientific discussions and networkin8 that take place at these meetings are Invaluable for the continued development of immunolo8y. The stren8ths of our 17 ReBiono1 Groups are to brin8 tO8ether immunologists within a local community boostin8 local research networks. The 12 Affinity Groups have all been created to focus meetin8S and discussions on speclflc areas of immunology and they continue to evolve as Immunology expands its reach and knowledge. Whlle the activltles of our Groups have been somewhat curtailed durSn8 the pandemic, thev approached thls year with renewed enthusiasm and ideas. In total, our Groups hosted nine in person conferences, two online conferences and three webSnars, covering a whole host of topics from 8 ce115 to tumour checkpoint blockade to avian immunology flow cytometry. These events played an Important part In our strate8V to develop our Re8lonal and Afflnlty Groups as communlty-based expert hubs. Our Groups also ran several other actNltles including in house seminar series, c8reers events and public Olrtreach Inltlatives. Our pro8ramme of events contlnued to be disrupted by COVID-19 rÈstriciions. Groups turned to online and hybrid events to keep members enga8ed and up to date with over 4,900 people attendlng events this year, over 1,000 more than last year. A full calendar of group events is planned for next year. 8SI Journals The BSI'5 origlnal eth05 Still Iles at the heart of our Society- to dlssemlnate research with the alm of promotin8 and advancing immunology to foster future innovatlon. Thls has been a busy and exclting year for our journals and one full of change. After a strate8lc revlew of our portfollo, the BSI decided to focus on developing journals that are fully owned by the Society to 8Sve us greater control over our publi5hlnB portfolio's future and to allow us to contlnue to support future generations of immunologlsts. This meant that our long- standing association with the Wiley-owned journal Immunology came to an end. However, we were delighted to cement our relatlonship wlth Oxford University Press, who became our new publishing partner for Clinical & Experlmentol Immunology. where it joined our Open Access journal ImmunotheropyAdvances, January 2022 alsQ Saw the exciting move of launchin8 our second fully Open Access journal, Discovery Immunology.

It Is only by Investlng in veterinary vaccine research, career development, collaborations and infrastructure that we can secure our future. EFIS Vacclne Task Force The BSI chairs Vaccine Task Force of the European Federation of Immunological Societies IEFISI to bring together immunolo8lSts from across Europe to pool resources and expertise to encourage the vaccine uptake by providing a strong, engaging, evidence-based and collective voice. Although the Task Force was established to tackle general vaccine uptake across Europe, due to the pandem￿, focus recently has been on increasing public confidence in COVID-19 vaccines across Europe. 12 Vaccine Task For Overthe last year, the Task Force has delwered several major project5 includin8 both policy reports provldlng the latest updates on the COVID-19 vaccines and public enga8ement work. For the latter, we have produced infographics for the public describin8 how vaccines work and why they are important, wlth a particular focu5 on COVID-19 vaccines. Languages covered so far include French. German, Greek, Irish, Lithuanian, Polish, Spanish and Ukrainian. Publlc engagement Our public engagemenl work over the last 12 months has focused prlmarity on COVID-19 and vaccSnes. We have used a wide varSety of methods and routes to en8aBe with different communitie5 to understand and answer their questions around COVID-19 vaccines. #VacclneCon¥e1$4tlon$ Empowering our members to engage with their famiW, frlends and communitiès to have meaningful conversations about vaccines, and in partlcular COVID.19 vacclnes, has been a core facet of our public en898ement work.

We have also continued to develop a range of engagement resources around COVID-19 vaccines, Includlng an updated version of our hlghly rated comprehensive "Gvide to COVID-19 vatcinations" and a number of info8raphics to explain key facets of our understanding of how vaccines work and how they Inc￿ase immunity to SARS-CoV-2. We have also continued to run ourvery popular Instagram Q&A sessions on COVIO-19 vaccines where members of the public can send In thelr questions for an immunology expert to answer. We also branched out into the arts sphere to encourage hands on learning through a new origami to create paper viruses and antibodies. C.OVID- 19 va('cinatii)n vircil vari¢int A4T[uNIAI Partnershlp for maxlmum Impart To build public trust and confldence in COVID-19 vacclnes, It's Important that we work wSth a varlety of organisations to increase our reach into different communitles. Throughout the pandemic, the BSI has partnered with a wide variety of or8anisations to make sure our inforrnation is 8ettin8 Out to those who need it. As well as our work with several local counclls (see below), we worked with the Cabinet Office to help find immunologists to speak at their'Keepin8 communities Safe, webinar5. tar8eted at an audience of community leaders nationwide. We also presented our own engagement work at this webinar Series, gaining lots of praise for our initiatives and leads for new collaborations with local authorities, charities and community groups. 14 We also partne￿d with NHS England, NHS Improvement andthe COVID Vaccine Connect and Research Hub on several prolects, including producing fla5hcards targeted at dlffeyent communities providing answer5 to key questions around COVID-19 vaccines and providing speakers for webinars on the topic aimed at healthcare professlonals. Throughout this work. we have not lost focu5 of the importance of continued en8a8ement around childhood vaccinations to encourage uptake and answer any questlons parents have. A major project we undertook this year on this wa5 to partner with the Department of Health and Social Care to create engaging short videos about the importance of chlldhood v8ccinations, featurin8 BS1 member5 answerlng common questions. These vide05 have been shared widely on social media channels, includin8 Twitter and Facebook, throu8hout the year, and have been viewed by manv thousands of people, helping to Increase awareness of the importance of these vital vaccinations. Effertlve conversatlons on COVID-19 v¥¢¢lfftes There has never been a more important time for Immunologists to engage with the public about vaccinations by11stenlng to and addresslng questlons and concerns. While the BSI and our members are idealty placed to be expert sources of knowledge in these dialo8ue5, working in partnership with organlsations that support local communlties is powerful In reachlng wider audlence5. Thls year, the BSI collaborated with the London Borough of Bexley and Bexley Voluntary Servlce5 Council, and later with Birmingham and Newcastle City Counclls, on programmes to train 'vaccine champlons, within local communlty groups to have effective tonversations wlth their peers about COVID-19 vaccine5. The programme was developed to traln people who hold soclal capltal In communitles by combiniTh8 our expertise in immunology with the expertise of the local area and people. Sessions were led prlmarily by BSI members. who were skllled communicators, With appearances from local community leaders. The sessions were u5er-led, meaning that particlpants shared key questSons they and thelr communltle5 had on COVID-19 vacclnes and the course content was adapted to address Ihe5e. Partlclpants were very positive about the trainlng, wlth l(KN of the community leaders feellng better informed, more knowledgeable and more confldent about havin8 effeCt￿e conversations about COVID-19 vacclnations. All community leaders reported having increased the number of people they talked to about COVID-19 vacclnes. Patlent and publ1¢ Involvoment Following our delivery of patient and public invofvement IPPII within the UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium IUK-CICI, we partnered with them to publish a report to celebrate and showcase the posltlve impart of involving patients and the public in immunolo8y research. UK-CIC broljght tO8ether laborètory-based sclentbsts and clinicians with the experience and unique perspectives of patient and public contributor5.

Dlverslty & I nclusion Framework Enabler - Flnancial sustalnabllSty Income dl¥ersfficatlon To dellver our ambitTrous strategic plans, we need to malntsin the 8SI as a sector-leadln8 or8anisatlon, and one of the trucial enablers to do so is our finan¢lal sustalnabillty. Tradltlonally, the BSI has heavily relied on journal income to fund our charltable activities. With current changes wlthin the Scholar￿ publishing landscape, we need to secure new income stream5 which will provlde fundln8 for our artivitles and maintain the long-term financial security of the Socletvi while also allowlnB US to make a p051tlve contribution to the Immuno108y sector. The development of new Income streams is not a quick process as there is often a delay between investment and return requirlng the use of reserves. However, our strong reserve5 have been built up for exactty thls purpose to support us through this transition and thelr use Is now carefully planned. The key areas of our current work are discussed below. Wldenlni ouv lournals portlollo Changes to our publishing portfolio las dlscussed on page 51 In tandem wlth the global move towards Open Access publishing have seen the BSI significantly evolve our journals strategy. The overall aim behind this 15 for the Society to reduce our reliance on journal income, particularly that from traditional subscrlptlon Journals. while making sure we develop a modern publishing portfollo that meets the needs of our member5 and wider •mmunolo8y Community. The initial launch of our first Open Acce55 journal, ImmunotheropyAdvance5, Wa5 Swiftly followed this year by the debut of a new Open Access journal for the BSI. Discovery Immunology.

Within the BSI staff, we have many specialist skills- such as communications, public engagement and involvement, 8overnance- that we can bring to large research con50rtia and networks to support their smooth rurbnin& effectiveness and impact. Prestl8ious projects we have worked with over the last 12 months include the UK Coronavirus Immunology Consortium, a nationally targeted effort to understand the immunology of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19, the SIREN ISARS-CoV-2 immunity and reinfection evaluation) study, National Core Studies Immunlty and the CARINA ICAtalyst Reducing ImmuNe ABeingl Network (see page 7 for more details). Thi5 type of funded project, through which we support the delivery of exlsting and new immunology con50rtia. is an important new 50urce of income for the organisation, and which is expected to contribute over IO% of our income next year. Fulure dlrectlon We have several addltlon81 new projects under development, whlch all fulfil our goals of makin8 a P05btlve Contribution to the immunology sector whllst also dSversifying the BSI'S income.
