Description
The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) offers the LMIC Grant to support participation in ESCMID Global 2027 by researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals from low- and middle-income countries. It is part of the society’s annual grants and awards supporting participation in its congress, rather than funding a separate research project.
The grant combines congress registration with assistance toward travel and accommodation for onsite attendance. Its application focuses on the professional benefit applicants hope to gain and how they will apply or share their learning after returning home. Members can apply regardless of age or career level, and submitting an abstract is not a prerequisite.
