Deadline: February 26, 2021
The The International AIDS Society (IAS) is now accepting applications for the IAS Conference and Media Scholarship Programme 2021. The IAS Conference and Media Scholarship Programmes are key components of the conference as they significantly impact the participation of individuals from resource-limited settings at the conference, and in turn contribute to the global educational impact of the conference.
The Scholarship Programmes provides full registration to eligible and qualified applicants. The programme supports individuals who contribute to the conference programme, along with applicants who are able to demonstrate that they will transfer the skills and knowledge acquired at the conference to the work they undertake in their own organizations and communities.
Additionally, the Media Scholars will be able to participate to the IAS 2021 Journalist Fellowship programme that will be conducted virtually, and will feature live and recorded online training with leading HIV treatment, care and prevention research and implementation experts. The programme will include special resources for Journalist Fellows, dedicated access to conference chairs and other key speakers as well as special online briefings throughout the conference.
