The purpose of
the Microbiology in Schools Advisory Committee (MiSAC) is to
promote the teaching of microbiology in schools and colleges.
Founded in 1969, it consists of experts who
work voluntarily as representatives of the wide range of educational
and scientific organisations that sponsor its activities.
MiSAC
develops and publishes new ideas for the educational use of microorganisms,
including practical activities, answers queries, gives talks,
contributes to training courses, interacts with examination boards,
science suppliers, publishers and industry, and is a recognised
authority on the safe use of microorganisms.
The popular MiSAC
annual competition, supported by sponsorship from professional
organisations and industry, is closely linked to the National
Curriculum.
MiSAC has charitable status.
