The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) Outreach Grant supports participation in ESCMID Global 2027 rather than financing a separate research project. Part of the Society’s annual congress support for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals, it covers registration and contributes toward travel and accommodation for recipients attending onsite.
Since 2021, the programme has welcomed numerous first-time attendees, bringing diverse perspectives to the Society and enabling recipients to experience the congress firsthand. The grant is intended for ESCMID LMIC members submitting work during the regular abstract submission call. Applicants must be presenting authors, but acceptance of their submitted abstract into the congress programme is not required.
