The WCSJ2025, taking place from 1–5 December in Tshwane, South Africa, will bring together a truly global community of science journalists and communicators. To ensure inclusive participation, especially from low- and middle-income countries, we are inviting organisations and individuals to partner with us by sponsoring travel grants for eligible delegates and speakers.

Two impactful sponsorship opportunities are available:

Journalist Travel Grants Partner – USD 3,000 each

Help ensure that active science journalists from underrepresented regions can attend.

• Sponsors may set criteria (e.g. country, region, career stage)
• Grant covers flights, airport transfers, and up to 7 nights’ accommodation
• Sponsors will receive logo placement with acknowledgement on the WCSJ2025 website, programme, and during opening and closing sessions
• Recognition in conference materials as a Journalist Travel Grant Sponsor

Speaker Travel Grants Partner – USD 4,000 each

Support the travel of invited speakers who bring essential perspectives to the global conversation.

• Includes flights, airport transfers, and up to 7 nights’ accommodation
