Travel Stipends

ISSM Travel Stipends to the 25th World Meeting on Sexual Medicine

Every World Meeting a number of ISSM Travel Stipends to be determined by the ISSM Board of Directors is made available for ISSM members to attend the World Meeting on Sexual Medicine. The travel stipends will contribute to covering travel, living expenses, and meeting registration fees. The funds will be reimbursed after the meeting, based on the specification of the expenses.

ISSM Travel Stipends will be distributed based on financial need. Members actively involved in ISSM committees, whose attendance at the World Meeting on Sexual Medicine would otherwise be hindered due to lack of funding, will receive additional consideration during the evaluation process.
