This grant is to stimulate young talent within the AII to attend an international scientific conference important within the field of Immunology & Infectious Diseases to actively build their CV and network while also creating international exposure of AII.

"Thanks to the AII Travel Grant I was able to attend the ENII Summer School in Sardinia, an inspiring event with great keynote speakers on a beautiful location, where I had the opportunity to present my research and expand my network."
