NEW PROJECT GRANTS SCHEME, February 2025

  • Read more about NEW PROJECT GRANTS SCHEME, February 2025

The Society’s Council has voted to overhaul its Research Grants system, through which we have supported many mollusc-related research projects over the past 25 years. We hope the revised Project Grants scheme will attract a wider variety of initiatives, and encourage more applications from Britain and Ireland.
