An international society for all those interested in and working in the mineral sciences. We achieve this by supporting the study, promotion and application of mineralogy and all related disciplines in society, and sharing that information with the wider public. The Society aims to be a voice which promotes diversity, equality and inclusivity in our science. We achieve this by activities that include:

(a) Being involved in the publication of books, journals and other material;
(b) Supporting a range of special interest groups which represent the breadth of our science;
(c) Running conferences and other forms of discussion;
(d) Supporting our members at every stage of their careers, including students and early career scientists;
(e) Recognizing those in our community who have excelled.
