The International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) and its Gender Equity Committee (GEC) are launching a Competition4Ideas to improve gender equality, in particular equality in career development support, in access to funding and to other resources at the national and international level.


GEC has set aside $10,000 total to support a maximum of 3 projects. The proposals are expected to outline activities planned by individual national societies or federations to promote and foster gender equality. The awards are meant as seed money for such activities with the expectation that they will continue under new funding. The awards will be announced at the 18th International Congress of Immunology (IUIS 2023) in Cape Town, South Africa.
