A W orking G roup on P ediatric A llergology was formed in 1984, which rapidly developed to become the E uropean S ociety on P ediatric A llergology and C linical I mmunology (ESPACI) in 1988 with its own journal, P ediatric A llergology and I mmunology . ESPACI worked together with the E uropean A cademy of A llergology and C linical I mmunology ( EAACI ) to form a S ection of P ediatrics within EAACI ( SP‐EAACI ) in 1996. The ESPACI and the SP‐EAACI formally merged in 2001. Within the EAACI organization, the P ediatric S ection has continued to grow. The P ediatric S ection is working to develop pediatric allergology across E urope, focusing on postgraduate education, facilitating the research agenda and advocating for children and adolescents with allergies.
