Description
The LMIC Grant is run by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) to support participation in ESCMID Global 2027. It forms part of the society’s congress support for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals. The grant funds congress attendance rather than a separate research project, covering registration and contributing toward travel and accommodation for onsite participants.
The programme is open to ESCMID LMIC members regardless of age or career level, and submitting an abstract is not required. Its application focuses on the professional benefit applicants expect from attending and how they intend to apply or share their learning after returning home. Recipients who cannot attend onsite can still receive free registration, but travel support is limited to onsite participation.
