The low to middle income countries’ reduced rate applies based on your institutional affiliation.

The early career researchers rate also applies based on your institutional affiliation and we request proof during registration, which we will verify before sending you a confirmation. We accept a written letter of affiliation by your institute or company or alternatively an enrollment certificate by your university for this rate.
Am I eligible for the reduced rate for participants from low to middle income countries (LMIC) if I am living in a non-low to middle income country?
The criteria for a reduced rate is based solely on your institutional affiliation. If you are a national of a LMIC, but you work for a non-LMIC organization, this criteria will not apply to you.

Funding
Is there travel and/or accommodation support provided by the summit?
We are currently exploring the option of providing travel funding in cases where travelling to the summit would otherwise be impossible. The number of allocated stipends is likely to be limited, in which case we will be prioritising funding participants whose work is most relevant to the Summit topics. The stipends will only be available to participants from the Majority World. We will provide more information as soon as the available funding is defined.
