Aims of the ZMG

The Swiss Society for Cell Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics (German abbreviation: ZMG) was founded in 1993 through fusion of the former Swiss Society for Cell Biology and Molecular Biology, and the Swiss Society for Genetics. The ZMG is a member of the Union of Swiss Societies for Experimental Biology, USGEB/USSBE (http://www.usgeb.ch) and of the Swiss Academy of Sciences SCNAT (http://www.scnat.ch)

The main aims of the ZMG are to:

Promote scientific research in the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, developmental biology, and genetics, and to help disseminate new results by:

Stimulating research through creating interdisciplinary discussion groups, organizing common symposia and workshops
Representing research interests and supporting information flow towards official administrative bodies and the general public
Representing Switzerland in national and international organizations and meetings, and relating international activities to the national organizations
Financing the travel of young researchers, in particular Ph.D. students, to meetings

ZMG comprises active members, honorary members, and collective members (organizations and enterprises).

The administrative organs of ZMG are:

the general assembly
the committee of the society
committees on specific topics
auditors
delegates to the senate and sections of the Swiss Academy of Sciences SCNAT
delegates at the assembly of the Union of Swiss Societies for Experimental Biology USGEB

The general assembly takes place once a year during the assembly of USGEB, and consists of an administrative meeting (annual report, finances, reports of committees, elections, various proposals submitted by members) and of the scientific meeting organized together with the other scientific societies of USGEB.

Additional meetings may be organized at the annual reunion of the SCNAT.

The committee is elected for one period of three years and is composed of five members. If needed two additional members may be elected.

Application for membership (APPLICATION) should be supported by two members of ZMG and submitted to the Secretary of ZMG. Provisional membership is effective immediately, and final admission is decided upon by the general assembly.
