The International Society for Microbial Ecology (ISME) invests in the advancement of microbial ecology through a range of dedicated funding schemes that support research, education, collaboration, and community-building activities worldwide. These funds are made possible through ISME’s commitment to reinvesting resources into its global membership and the broader scientific community.
ISME funding opportunities are designed to support scientists at different career stages and to strengthen the field across regions. They include support for international research mobility and training, regional and ambassador-led activities, as well as sponsorship of scientific meetings and educational initiatives. Together, these funds aim to foster collaboration, promote inclusivity, and enable the exchange of knowledge within the microbial ecology community.
