Assistance with the Cost of Attendance
Thanks to Marie Curie funding we are able to offer this conference free of charge to young scientists who successfully apply for one of the fully funded places.
This includes accommodation, scientific sessions, congress material, meals, social events and travel expenses. Participation fee will be paid at source, but travel expenses will be reimbursed after attendance, up to an average of 378 euros.

Additionally, 15 non-European Students and postdoctoral workers, not therefore eligible for Marie Curie Attendance Awards, who submit abstracts for oral or poster presentations will be selected for an ESCMID sponsored full Conference Registration. These will be assigned on a first-come basis
