At the Irish Fungal Society 2018 AGM, the members agreed to establish a new travel award that was to be named in memory of Prof. Ken Haynes, who sadly passed away in March 2018.

The award will support early career researchers to attend an international meeting. The value of the award will be up to €500 to support expenses incurred (e.g. registration and travel) to attend such meeting. Up to two awards will be made per annum, depending on the society’s finances.
