ISIUM has been fortunate in acquiring support from Therapeutic Guidelines and the University of South Australia to support the attendance of a small number of delegates to the 2023 ISIUM conference to be held in Chiang Mai, 28-30 October 2023.

A separate sponsorship process will be available to Thai delegates, thanks to agencies in their country.

What is the value of the conference sponsorship?

Sponsorship will cover the conference registration fee, and the costs of economy travel to and from the conference.

Who can apply?

Any ISIUM member (or member of an affiliated organisation) who meets the following criteria can apply for financial support to attend the conference. The applicant:

  • will make a real and valuable contribution to the conference and to ISIUM. This may include a presentation, poster, or contribution to a working session at the conference.
  • believes that their attendance at the conference will provide them with unique opportunities to inform their work to improve the use of medicines.
  • lives and works or studies in a low- or middle-income country and who is not able to obtain funds from other sources such as university, employer, government, sponsorship, or other grants.
  • is prepared to host an ISIUM conversation or other ISIUM event after the conference.

How to apply

Interested applicants should make their application in writing to lynn.weekesATisium.org. The application must be written in English and should include:

  • A brief curriculum vitae.
  • The rationale for the application, specifically the contribution that the applicant will make to the conference and to ISIUM (if the applicant has submitted an abstract for a conference presentation this should be included).
  • A substantiated travel budget.

Applications should be no more than two pages in length.

Deadline

All applications received before May 30, 2023, will be considered.
