Applied Microbiology International

Bringing the international microbiology community together to advance scientific impact.

Founded in 1931 and originally know as the Society for Applied Microbiology, Applied Microbiology International (AMI), is one of the world's first microbiology societies. It operates with the visionary goal that microbiology has the potential to tackle some of the most significant global challenges.[1] AMI's mission is to develop and engage a worldwide, interdisciplinary community focused on applied microbiology, fostering opportunities for collaboration and spearheading advancements in the field. AMI is an active member of the Royal Society of Biology, and the Federation of European Microbiological Societies. Under the organisation's current president, Professor Jack Gilbert, it continues to inspire and facilitate groundbreaking research and partnerships in microbiology, contributing significantly to the scientific and global community's efforts to solve critical issues.[2]

The organisation is responsible for the publication of six academic journals:

The organisation also publishes the digital magazine The Microbiologist.[3]

Events

AMI is widely known for the Letters in Applied Microbiology Early Career Scientist Research Symposium. Celebrating its thirteenth year, the symposium offers an essential forum for emerging microbiologists to present their research, participate in interactive workshops, and connect with both peers and industry leaders.

Membership

Applied Microbiology International is based in the United Kingdom and has members from all over the world. There are several membership levels enabling anyone with an interest in microbiology become eligible for membership.[4]

Grants and awards

The organisation has an extensive range of grants and awards available to members.[5]

Horizon Awards

Since its inception in 1984, Applied Microbiology International's Horizon Awards have annually honored pioneers in the field of microbiology. These prestigious awards celebrate outstanding contributions aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, covering various categories that reflect the breadth of microbiology's impact on global challenges. Categories such as the WH Pierce Global Impact in Microbiology Prize and the Rachel Carson Environmental Conservation Excellence Award showcase the awards' focus on recognising individuals who lead in innovation, policy to practice, environmental conservation, and more. Through these awards, AMI continues to highlight the crucial role of microbiologists in advancing our understanding and application of microbiological research toward sustainable development and global well-being.[6]
