Scholarship program

A typical feature of the event series “Congress Hidden Hunger” is the scholarship program associated with each of the congresses. This means that needy students, researcher and experts from low-income countries have the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend the congress. The fellows have the task of supplementing the congresses with a scientific presentation of their research projects, ideas on cooperation and the implementation of various measures in the fight against global hunger related to the congress topic. As a central concern, along with all other participants of the congress, they are invited to present and discuss the concrete objectives of such measures and the possibilities of their on-site implementation.

One scholarship covers the participation in the three congress days (incl. coffee breaks and lunch), the social dinner reception ("Come Together") in the evening of the first congress day (Monday, September 4, 2023), the program booklet and a badge as well as the travel to Stuttgart and back and accommodation for a maximum of 3-4 nights.

As part of the 5th Congress Hidden Hunger, we invite you to submit your application for a scholarship!
