ISID/ESCMID Call for Applications: Fellowship Program
The International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) and the European Society for Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) established their joint fellowship program in 2010 to foster international, peer-to-peer collaboration and the exchange of scientific knowledge and best practice. The program enables early-career investigators, from low and lower-middle income countries outside of the region, to travel to Europe for multidisciplinary clinical and laboratory training.
In the formative stages of their careers, successful applicants are given the opportunity to extend their research experience; learn from experienced infectious disease specialists; and return home with knowledge and processes that will help them improve clinical practice in regions where it most needs strengthening. With this objective in mind, proposals that enhance the transfer of technologies to geographical areas where they are particularly needed are favored.
Eligibility
- ISID/ESCMID fellowships are open to residents of low and lower-middle income countries, as classified by the World Bank, from outside of Europe, who are less than forty years of age*, and will benefit from the opportunity to work or study outside of their country of residence. *Career breaks will be factored into applicants’ evaluations.
Funding details:
- Two fellowships of up to US$7,500 and up to three months in duration are awarded annually.
- Applicants must make their own connections and arrangements for the fellowship stay.
