The mission of the British Mycological Society is to advance the understanding of fungi and their role in the natural world through research, education, and conservation efforts.
The Seminar Grant program, offered by the British Mycological Society, seeks to support the organization of research seminars within UK university seminar programs that focus on any aspect of fungal biology. These grants, which can be up to £300, are aimed at sponsoring mycology-themed talks, thereby fostering academic discussions and research in the field of fungal biology. Importantly, applicants do not need to be members of the Society to qualify for this funding. Applications for the grant must be submitted at least one month prior to the planned seminar.
