Description
LinnéSys supports small-scale research and education projects in taxonomy and systematics, covering organisms from microscopic to macroscopic and from past to present. Previously called the Systematics Research Fund, it is jointly administered by the Councils of the Linnean Society of London and the Systematics Association, with scheme administration handled by the Systematics Association.
Supported work includes fieldwork, purchasing scientific equipment or expertise, access to analytical equipment, specimen preparation—including temporary technical assistance—and contributions to publication costs. Education projects, training courses and citizen science activities are also considered when they have a clear taxonomy and systematics focus. The scheme supports researchers from undergraduate level onwards, including researchers without institutional affiliations.
