The Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group serves as the primary network for the UK's community of scientists focused on igneous, volcanic, and magmatic research. It operates within a collaborative framework of the Mineralogical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Geological Society of London, aiming to support and advance studies in these scientific domains.
The Volcanic and Magmatic Studies Group offers bursaries to support student researchers within the VMSG community. These grants are designed to assist doctoral researchers in funding travel to present at conferences or workshops, conduct fieldwork for their research, or attend virtual workshops and conferences. The bursary program aims to support students who are actively engaged with the VMSG community, facilitating their participation in essential scientific exchanges and research activities.
