This Fund, begun in 1976, honors the first President of the International Phycological Society, the French phycologist, Jean Feldmann (1905-1978). Professor at the Sorbonne in Paris for many years, Dr. Feldmann strongly advocated for international cooperation among phycologists. The Feldmann Fund strives to help phycologists in countries where political unrest and economic conditions make it difficult or impossible for them to join the International Phycological Society. Each year, the International Phycological Society can provide memberships for up to 30 individuals through the Fund. Individuals wishing to apply for membership in the International Phycological Society through the Feldmann Fund should send the following information to the Treasurer: |
At present, the International Phycological Society does not limit the amount of time a person can receive Feldmann Fund support. However, we do require that a person reapply for support every two years.
If you would like to support the Feldmann Fund, contributions can be included with annual membership renewal or may be sent directly to the Treasurer.
