The Microbiology Society is a membership charity for scientists interested in microbes, their effects and their practical uses. It has a worldwide membership based in universities, industry, hospitals, research institutes, schools, and other organisations.
Our members have a unique depth and breadth of knowledge about the discipline. The Society’s role is to help unlock and harness the potential of that knowledge. We do this by bringing together and empowering communities that shape the future of microbiology. We generate public benefit by fostering communication both among communities of microbiologists and between microbiologists and other communities who can translate that knowledge in useful ways.
Because of the diverse range of challenges and opportunities our members encounter, the Society works in a variety of modes. By engaging through the membership, and amplifying the voices of the members, sometimes the Microbiology Society is a leader, sometimes it works in partnership with like-minded scientific organisations, and sometimes it convenes different communities.
