ICID 2024 Travel Fund

ISID will host the 20th International Congress on Infectious Diseases in Cape Town, South Africa, this December 3-6! 

The 20th ICID 2024 in Cape Town brings together over 2,500 infectious disease experts from more than 100 countries. The ISID and our many stakeholder partners are working together to create a unique event focused on clinical knowledge and practice, novel translational science, infection prevention protocols, and the epidemic intelligence of infectious disease. ICID is where world-renowned experts share innovative ideas every two years, and colleagues spark critical connections. It is a place for our global industry and medical community to share groundbreaking solutions for prevention, management, and cutting-edge treatments for all those impacted by infectious diseases.

The conference has traditionally had a particular focus on young researchers from LMICs. We'd love for as many of our colleagues and early career researchers to join us in person in South Africa to benefit from the mentoring opportunities, moderated sessions, workshops, and community events. This year, we have limited grant-funded opportunities to travel delegates to South Africa, and many infectious disease early career researchers and clinicians are asking for support to attend. So, we are asking for a pledge from you - to reach out to your networks, institutions, industry partners, or philanthropic organizations to ASK that they donate, gift, or grant funds to ISID to contribute to a special fund to support travelers from LMICs to the December conference. The ISID is a registered charity in 50 US states, so if your contacts or institutions have a US office, this might help them contribute more readily.
