Support scheme

To promote broad global participation, the OOS Congress established a dedicated funding scheme for scientists from Least Developed, Low-Income, and Middle-Income Countries (as defined by the OECD), as well as from Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

We are pleased to share that the selection process has now been completed, and 74 participants have been awarded support to attend the OOS Congress. This support includes coverage of registration fees, travel expenses, and accommodation during the congress.

Funding was allocated through a selection process based on the quality of the applicant’s abstract, CV, and cover letter. Priority was given to candidates from Least Developed and Low-Income Countries, with additional support extended to applicants from SIDS and Middle-Income Countries.
