23rd International AIDS Conference Scholarship Programme 2020 in United States

The AIDS Conference Scholarship Programme 2020 will be the largest ever, aiming to support 1,600 delegates to attend the conference in San Francisco and Oakland.

Through the Scholarship Programme, conference organizers aim to make AIDS 2020 accessible to people actively contributing to the conference programme, living with HIV, young people and those who belong to the key or vulnerable populations. Conference organizers are committed to ensuring that resource-constrained settings and individuals are represented at AIDS 2020. In prioritizing the participation in the programme of groups and individuals from these settings, the conference creates pathways for the direct dissemination of scientific knowledge and best practices from the conference to local programmes and individuals in communities where it can be actively and effectively implemented.
