AFM-Telethon can provide specific funding for national or international scientific congresses and workshops, which aim to increase understanding of neuromuscular diseases and help develop new therapeutic options.

The funding request must describe the objectives of the congress, the topics covered, the public to be addressed and the perspectives. It must also contain:

A scientific program (or preliminary program) with session titles, identified/confirmed speakers and talk titles,
A detailed provisional budget (expenses and receipts), with supports requested/accepted to other sponsors, and the support requested to AFM-Telethon.
