The Geologists' Association, since 1858, focuses on promoting the study of geology and its allied sciences to individuals at all knowledge levels. It is committed to extending geological knowledge through lectures, field meetings, demonstrations, publications, and the maintenance of a library. The organization encourages discussions among members to foster interest and awareness of geological heritage.
The grant provided by the Geologists' Association supports various activities aimed at advancing the study and understanding of geology. These activities include facilitating fieldwork or museum visits to cover travel and subsistence costs, purchasing laboratory consumables (except major equipment), and funding for sample dating. Applicants interested in radiocarbon dating are required to contact the Awards Officer before applying. This grant program is guided by the principle of promoting geological studies and heritage awareness at all levels of knowledge.
