Applications are open for IPVS 2026 travel scholarships

✓ By attending IPVS 2026, scholarship recipients will gain contemporary knowledge on the nature and implications of HPV infection and associated methods of prevention and management. The IPVS conference program benefits from diverse contributions for basic scientists, clinicians and epidemiologists, and scholars will be expected to cascade learning to their colleagues locally. They will be part of an enriching scholars program with dedicated sessions for them throughout the week in Athens, in addition to the state-the-art scientific program of the conference.
✓ The scholars will benefit from the networking opportunities of this event, allowing them to build relationships with researchers, clinicians and policy makers from across the globe.
Scholars will have access to year-round educational resources and activities as they will become members of IPVS. They can take part in Committees and apply to various initiatives such as the IPVS Country Ambassadors Program and the IPVS Mentorship Program. Becoming an IPVS scholar is therefore much more than just attending a conference – it allows for long-term engagement within the IPVS community.
