World Health Summit 2025 Stipend Program
For Participants from Low- and Middle-Income Countries and with Lived Experiences
The World Health Summit offers travel and accommodation stipends for individuals from low- and middle-income countries, as well as individuals with lived experience, to participate in the World Health Summit in Berlin, October 12–14, 2025.
The Stipend Program is part of our commitment to fostering an inclusive global health dialogue and empowering the next generation of changemakers. By supporting participation in the World Health Summit, the stipend program ensures that diverse voices and perspectives are represented, particularly those who otherwise might face financial or logistical barriers to attend. The WHS Stipend Program is made possible with the generous support of the Wellcome Trust.
