I am a Taiwanese medical student one month away from completing my degree at…let’s call it University A.
Recently I matched at University B, also in Taiwan, for residency, and will be signing my employment contract right after my graduation date.
I have been working on a research project (epi) with an investigator from University C, which is in the US
ZERO funding/faculty support coming from Universities A and B* (they don’t even know about my research, but I am/will be using their WiFi, journal access etc)
I have no ties whatsoever with C…just doing a cool project with one of their investigators.
—————————
TLDR:
Most of the work was completed while a student at A.
I will be employed full-time by B by the time I get to finish up and present the research.
Funding and senior authors are from C, a school that I have no formal ties to
—————————
There is a possibility that B will support my trip to the US to present the research at a conference, provided that they’re listed as my (main?) affiliation.
How do I accurately and honestly list my academic affiliations for the conference and for the journal submission?
I’m perplexed because nothing seems right during this period of transition.
Thanks in advance!

I think your affiliation will be most likely university A, as most work was done here. I suppose you have already submitted the work to the conference so you’d have chosen your affiliation as A. If you’ve not yet submitted and will submit after you’ve joined B, then you can have two affiliations simultaneously. There are plenty of instances in stem field where authors have more than one affiliation.
A and B. A only would also be acceptable. A, B and C, or A and C, only if you did the work in C.
