Become an ISHAM Senior Ambassador in your country
ISHAM Senior Ambassadors are respected leaders in our scientific community who represent ISHAM’s mission across their home countries. They play an essential role in connecting new specialists in human, veterinary, and environmental health with ISHAM, strengthening global capacity in medical, veterinary mycology and One Health framework. Senior Ambassadors support education, training, and professional development; promote ISHAM initiatives and membership; and collaborate closely with national mycology societies. They also collect feedback from ISHAM members in their country and convey these perspectives directly to the ISHAM Council through Ambassador program. ISHAM members who are interested in to apply for this program can find more information in the Members Area.
