Fully Funded 25th International AIDS Conference Scholarship Programme in Munich, Germany.
Applications are now open for the 25th International AIDS Conference Scholarship, AIDS 2024, set to convene in Munich, Germany, and virtually from July 22nd to 26th, 2024. This scholarship initiative aims to offer financial support to chosen candidates worldwide, enabling their participation in AIDS 2024, either in person or virtually.
Recipients of the scholarship will have the opportunity to attend the AIDS 2024 pre-conferences held on July 21st and 22nd at the conference venue. Geared toward individuals who lack the financial resources to attend the conference otherwise, this program extends its aid to applicants actively contributing to the conference agenda. Additionally, it supports those who can demonstrate the transfer of knowledge and skills gained at the conference to their work within their organizations and communities.
Individuals aged 18 or older by July 20th, 2024, engaged in HIV-related work, whether through employment, volunteering, or academic study, are encouraged to apply for the scholarship to attend the 25th International AIDS Conference in Munich. The scholarship covers participation in both the main conference and the pre-conferences, fostering greater inclusivity and knowledge sharing within the HIV community.
