ISID mission is to empower clinical health experts and allied professionals to prevent, investigate, and manage infectious diseases within a One Health context. The ISID is committed to equity, prioritizing support for countries and regions with limited resources and disproportionately high infectious disease burdens. The conference will be in Madrid November 10-13, 2026

Funding amount £15,000 Applicants are required to demonstrate that ISAC funds will be utilised for a clearly defined piece of research, which will have an identifiable outcome on completion of the work. At least one applicant must be from a low- to middle- income country. Research projects should address one of the four following areas: What are feasible and effective prevention strategies to prevent transmission of (resistant) pathogens in low resource settings? What basic laboratory support does a healthcare system minimally need to tackle infectious diseases? How do we improve antimicrobial use worldwide to ensure it is delivered only to those who need it? How can communication strategies be designed and evaluated to effectively prevent the spread of infectious diseases? Please refer to the website for the details.

Abstract Submission Deadline: August 21st, 2026 We are pleased to announce that the 16th edition of the International Workshop on Clinical Pharmacology of Tuberculosis Drugs will take place October 14-15, 2026, as a virtual meeting. This abstract-driven workshop has been a leading annual meeting in the field of tuberculosis (TB) pharmacology since 2008. The aim of the meeting is to contribute to the optimization of TB treatment by providing an independent platform for the presentation and discussion of the latest scientific developments in TB pharmacology. If you work in TB, you are invited to join us. This includes preclinical and clinical pharmacology researchers from academia and industry; medical doctors, pharmacists, and pharmacologists involved in clinical management of TB patients; laboratorians, nurses, and PhD students; and representatives from regulatory or non-governmental organizations active in the TB field. The program consists of oral presentations that will be put in perspective, with a translation to clinical care where possible, by selected experts at the end of each workshop session. In addition, there will be e-poster abstract presentations. The workshop is informal in setting and is meant to be interactive.
