Initiatives

The Society is committed to creating an inclusive culture that supports equality and diversity and fully reflects both its membership and the global microbiology community. 

Some of our current initiatives include:

• 

  Council and Committees Shadowing Scheme

  Our Council and Committees Shadowing Scheme gives members an exclusive opportunity to gain insight into the inner working of the Society.

• 

  EC Forum Co-Chairing Scheme

  The Early Career Forum Co-chairing Scheme provides EC Forum members with the opportunity to be involved in the chairing of scientific sessions at the Society’s Annual Conference and Focused meetings.

• All Grants

  A list of all grants and prizes available to members of the Microbiology Society.

• 

  Annual Conference

  Annual Conference is the Society’s flagship event. The Conference brings together scientists who work in microbiology and provides a comprehensive overview of current microbiological research and discoveries.

• 

  Awareness Days

  We mark a number of awareness days, weeks and months throughout the year to highlight the achievements and challenges faced by our members from historically marginalised communities.

• 

  Events

  We support members from historically marginalised groups to organise events for their communities.
