Appendix 3 About the Society for General Microbiology ‘to advance the art and science of microbiology’ The Society for General Microbiology (SGM) was founded in 1944/1945 and is now the largest microbiological society in Europe. It has over 4500 individual members of whom 75% are resident in the UK. The remainder are located in more than 60 countries throughout the world. Almost all full members are qualified to doctoral or higher level; there are 1000 postgraduate student members. More than 500 schools and a number of companies are corporate members. The Society provides a common meeting ground for scientists working in academic centres and in a number of fields with applications in microbiology (medicine, dentistry, veterinary medicine, pharmaceuticals, numerous industries, agriculture, food and beverages, the environment and education). The majority of Society members are employees of universities, research institutes, health services, government agencies and small to multinational companies. The science of microbiology covers a great diversity of life forms: disease-related molecular structures such as prions and viruses, archaea, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and algae. Microbes are of crucial importance in a number of processes affecting all life on Earth: the cause and control of disease, fertility of soils and aquatic environments, fermentation, biodegradation of waste materials and dead biomass, bioprocessing steps in drug and antibiotic production, and molecular biotechnology. The Society’s objective is to advance the art and science of microbiology. It does this by: Organizing regular scientific meetings at centres throughout the UK and abroad, where microbiologists meet to hear and discuss the latest research findings. The largest meetings last 4 days and involve up to 1400 participants. Publishing four major international learned journals: Microbiology, Journal of General Virology, Journal of Medical Microbiology and International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. The journals are available on-line through HighWire Press (http://www.sgmjournals.org). Representing the science and profession of microbiology to government and the media. The Society is represented on a number of biological and biomedical committees and organizations, in the UK and internationally, thereby exerting influence on science policy and education, regulatory affairs and international collaboration. Promoting microbiology as a career for young people, by increasing awareness of microbiology in schools and aiding the development of teaching resources. The Society also provides grants for young scientists to attend scientific meetings and training courses. 75
