Welcome from the Chairs
Welcome to the International Society of Dermatology (ISD) Regional Meetings Funding Program.
As Chair and Co-Chair of the ISD Regional Meetings Committee, we are pleased to invite dermatologic societies and ISD members worldwide to apply for support for educational meetings that advance dermatologic knowledge, foster international collaboration, and promote professional development within their regions.
The ISD Regional Meetings Program serves as an important mechanism for extending the Society's global educational mission. Through strategic partnerships with local, regional, and national dermatologic organizations, we aim to support high-quality scientific programs that encourage the exchange of ideas, strengthen professional networks, and expand engagement with the international dermatology community.
We encourage applicants to carefully review the eligibility requirements and funding criteria outlined on this website. Together, we look forward to reviewing innovative proposals that align with the mission and values of the International Society of Dermatology.
Thank you for your interest in the ISD Regional Meetings Program and for your shared commitment to advancing dermatologic education worldwide.
