Travel stipends: Open for applications until the end of October
Attendees from low or lower middle income countries, as well as emerging speakers, can submit their applications for a travel stipend to OTWorld 2026 until the end of October. Congress organiser Confairmed GmbH will award scholarships to cover travel and accommodation expenses.
For professionals from countries where personal income is significantly lower than in Germany, attending a world congress here can be a challenge. In order to overcome such financial hurdles, the congress organiser will once again be awarding travel stipends to residents from “Low Income Countries” or “Lower Middle Income Countries”.
New from this year on: If you have qualified as an emerging speaker at OTWorld 2026 and your submission has been accepted, you are eligible for the travel stipend regardless of your income.
Interested applicants are asked to submit a full application that includes a letter of motivation, the travel stipend application form, proof of their country of residence and a brief explanation of how the scholarship would benefit them personally.
Please note: Submissions by the applicants must be received by the congress office no later than October 31, 2025.
Each submission will be reviewed and the congress office will confirm the decisions no later than December 15, 2025.
