Dear Affiliated Society Representative,

After the great success of ESCMID Global 2025 in Vienna, we will hold next ESCMID Global in 2026 on site in Munich (Germany) and virtually as well.

As usual, the ESCMID Affiliated Societies (AS) will be granted with the following benefits:

1. Grantee: For one member of your society who also is an ESCMID Young Scientist Member, ESCMID will cover registration and provide up to 500 € travel/accommodation allowance. This person shall be selected by the AS themselves. They must have a submitted abstract at ESCMID Global 2026 and must be a Young Scientist Member of ESCMID.
2. Representative: For one AS representative, ESCMID will cover full registration for ESCMID Global 2026 (but no travel or accommodation). This person must participate at the ESCMID Council meeting (on site or virtually).

Both application forms are found on the ESCMID website: https://www.escmid.org/about-us/affiliates-partners/affiliate-societies/. Forms must be completed by 05 February 2026.

The nominated persons will receive, after the deadline, a communication with instructions on how to claim their free congress registration (and allowance for the young scientist member) and Council Meeting details.
