Our Learned Society acts to support and promote research and teaching of genetics in the UK.  It covers the study of genomes, genes and gene action, and embraces scales ranging from the molecular and cellular to the population and ecosystem level. We run two scientific meetings a year, and provide funding for undergraduate summer projects, fieldwork, training, specialist interest groups, scientific meeting organisation, conference attendance and travel.  We also award a number of named Medals and Prize Lectures to outstanding and distinguished geneticists each year.  Our members come both from the UK and overseas: we maintain links with several genetics societies in other countries. Membership is open to anyone with an interest in genetics research or teaching.
