Ambassadors
ISME Ambassador Program
The Ambassador Program promotes and strengthens the ISME Society, Symposia and Journal, as well as the discipline of microbial ecology, as broadly as possible, through the action of Ambassadors in individual countries or regions.
The Ambassador Program promotes and strengthens the ISME Society, Symposia and Journal, as well as the discipline of microbial ecology, as broadly as possible, through the action of Ambassadors in individual countries or regions.
To achieve this mission, ISME cooperates with regional organizations in a broad range of activities. These activities include workshops, symposia, receptions, awards and exchanges. Many other activities are possible, as the program seeks to support its mission in ways most effective in particular regions. In some cases, Ambassadors are assisted by Consuls, junior colleagues, in their work.
How can I become involved?
If you have suggestions for regional activities or wish to serve as a Consul or in some other capacity, contact your regional Ambassador, below. If your region does not yet have an ambassador, contact the Program Director, below.
