Ambassadors Reports

The Ambassador Program promotes and strengthens the discipline of microbial ecology, as broadly as possible, through the action of Ambassadors in individual countries or regions. 


If you require funding for your local workshop, award, symposium or other microbial ecology related event, contact your regional Ambassador or our Program Director Thulani Makhalanyane or the ISME Office and submit your Funding Request Form.

ISME aims to publish all reports of events supported through the Ambassador Program. Reports are subdivided between reports on the individual reports and activity updates of each Ambassador.
