Applications are open for the RSTMH Annual Meeting 2019 Travel Scholarships for Researchers. The RSTMH Annual Meeting will be part of the European Congress on Tropical Medicine and International Health (ECTMIH 2019). This is a great opportunity to be part of a wider event bringing together 1,500 scientists and experts from across the world.
The Annual Meeting will examine the changing world from a One Health perspective. Two major themes of surveillance and delivery of healthcare will be considered through the cross-cutting lenses of economics, social sciences and technology. As always, this event provides an opportunity for RSTMH members and supporters to come together and network.

- Explore themes of surveillance and healthcare delivery with a range of speakers and through group discussions.
- Feed in to a panel developing ideas, views and evidence for RSTMH to take forward in the coming year.
