The 23rd edition of the International Conference on AIDS & STI in Africa (ICASA 2025 virtual & in-person conference), will be organised on 3rd-8th December 2025 in Accra, Ghana.
The overarching theme of this year’s conference is “Africa in Action: Catalysing Integrated Sustainable Responses to end AIDS, TB & Malaria.”
The abstract submission deadline of the ICASA 2025 Call for abstract submission has been extended to Friday, 13th June 2025 at 23:59 GMT.
Didn't you submit your abstract yet? Then make sure you do so before the new submission deadline!
Abstracts can be submitted under the following track descriptors:
Ø TRACK A: BASIC SCIENCE (BIOLOGY & PATHOGENESIS)
Ø TRACK B: CLINICAL SCIENCE, TREATMENT AND CARE
Ø TRACK C: EPIDEMIOLOGY AND PREVENTION SCIENCE
Ø TRACK D: LAW, HUMAN RIGHTS SOCIAL SCIENCE AND POLITICAL SCIENCE
Ø TRACK E: HEALTH SYSTEMS, ECONOMICS AND IMPLEMENTATION SCIENCE
The Conference offers two options for abstract submission: OPTION 1 and OPTION 2.
OPTION 1: this option is most suited for scientific research. Abstracts presented under the first option should contain concise statements of: background, methods, results, conclusions & recommendations.
OPTION 2: this option is most suited for presenting new knowledge or analysis important for understanding and responding to the HIV epidemic and its future implications. It is suited for information gained through systematic knowledge production/ management, other than scientific research or evaluation, including community-level experiences and best practices in response to HIV and AIDS. This process must include some evidence provided through the data obtained.
ITM Alumni grants
The ITM Alumni Network supports alumni to attend international scientific meetings and will promote alumni participation in ICASA 2025. We strongly encourage all ITM alumni to participate in this call and submit an abstract. Only those ITM alumni with a selected abstract (for oral or poster presentation) and without funding granted by ICASA or other institutions and donors, can apply for an ITM alumni travel grant to attend ICASA 2025.
ITM alumni grants include: registration fee, visa, per diem, travel and accommodation costs. A grant can only be awarded to alumni who are resident and nationals of a country on the most recent version of the OECD/DAC list of ODA recipients.
Please note that there are a limited number of grants available for ITM alumni to participate in ICASA 2025. We strongly encourage women (ITM alumnae) to apply.
If you wish to apply for an ITM alumni grant, after the selection of your ICASA abstract, make sure to send us your (i) motivation letter, (ii) CV, and (iii) letter of acceptance from ICASA by 14 September 2025 to [email protected].
ITM will have the opportunity to host as well an ‘ITM alumni meeting‘ during ICASA conference in Accra. The programme together with details on location, date and timing, will be communicated closer to this date.
