Make a donation

Scholarship and travel-support programs are a meaningful part of what makes a congress like ICN accessible to researchers who might not otherwise be able to attend — particularly early-career scientists and delegates from countries where a registration fee and international travel cost represent a real barrier.

Individual and organizational donations are one of the ways these scholarship programs get funded. Contributions don’t need to be large to matter; even modest donations add up when spread across a scholarship fund meant to cover partial travel or registration costs for multiple delegates.

Broadening who can attend a congress isn’t just a matter of fairness — it genuinely improves the quality of the event. A wider range of perspectives, drawn from more countries and career stages, tends to produce richer scientific discussion than a congress attended mostly by researchers who could already easily afford to be there.

Anyone interested in supporting ICN’s scholarship program can find current giving options through the congress’s official channels.
