2025 ISV Congress in South Africa: LMIC Awards

The International Society for Vaccines (ISV) invites Early-Career Researchers (within 5 years of their PhD award) and PhD students from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to apply for a scholarship to attend the congress in person.

(ISV) Annual Congress will be held at the Protea Hotel in Stellenbosch, South Africa, from October 28-30, 2025.

Eligibility

  • Applicants must be from a low- or middle-income country (LMIC) whose place of research or source of stipend is from an LMIC.
  • If you are funded by a scholarship or fellowship with funding from an LMIC but are currently a student in a non-LMIC country, you are eligible for an LMIC travel award.
  • If your home country is an LMIC, but you are funded by a scholarship from a non-LMIC and are studying in that non-LMIC, you would be eligible for a non-LMIC award. You need to be a member of the ISV (with a membership fee of only $35) to be eligible for the non-LMIC award.

In-Person Awards Include:

  • ISV Congress Registration Fee
  • Hotel accommodation for up to 4 nights during the congress
