Medical congresses provide healthcare professionals (HCPs) with educational opportunities, offering access to cutting-edge science, meaningful clinical data, and comprehensive scientific programs, as well as opportunities for peer-to-peer exchange. Astellas is dedicated to supporting HCP congress attendance through one of two ways; direct funding to an individual HCP or a grant to a healthcare organization (HCO).
Astellas welcomes funding requests from HCPs to further their medical education through congress attendance, where this funding is permitted by relevant local codes, regulations and laws. To be considered, requests must meet Astellas' eligibility criteria outlined below. For successful applicants, Astellas will handle congress registration, travel and accommodation arrangements as appropriate.
HCP eligibility criteria
If you are an HCP interested in applying for funding to attend one of our eligible congresses, please complete the application form using the link(s) in the table below and ensure your application is submitted in English. Please note that funding is available for a maximum of one congress per HCP, per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31), and is subject to terms and conditions. Funding is limited; therefore, applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. We will only accept a limited number of applications per institution.
If you have any queries about the application process, please contact IHFCA-Enquiry-sm@astellas.com.
| Congress Name | Congress Dates | Eligible Location/Region | Application Form |
| EAU 2026 | 13-16 March 2026 | Europe | Apply |
The list of congresses for 2026 (April 1 to March 31) will be posted in February 2026. Applications will open 4-5 months before each congress. Please check this website regularly for updates.
HCOs can apply for grants to support HCP attendance at eligible congresses that are consistent with Astellas' therapy areas of interest. As Astellas provides the grant only, HCOs must be able to independently manage all aspects of the congress registration, travel, and accommodation arrangements as appropriate.
Eligible HCO types
If you are an HCO interested in applying for funding, please check your eligibility by submitting an inquiry to the email address provided for your location below. If eligible, you will be asked to complete and return the application form, also available in the table below. We anticipate that decisions on eligible requests may take up to six weeks.
Each grant request can support a maximum number of HCPs, which varies by location. Astellas must not be involved in the selection of HCPs receiving support to attend the congress.
Please note that an HCO is eligible to receive grants for HCP congress attendance up to two times per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) per therapeutic area that Astellas supports. However, HCOs in China and Hong Kong may receive grants up to five times per fiscal year (April 1 to March 31) per therapeutic area that Astellas supports.
If your location/region is not listed in the table below, unfortunately we cannot offer funding at this time.
