The purpose of the Society shall be the advancement of muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (µSR) spectroscopy worldwide. Pursuant to this purpose the ISMS shall undertake the following:

1 Identify and bring together the µSR community on all continents.

2 Promote the scientific exchange of ideas in the field of µSR spectroscopy through international conferences, meetings and internet communications.

3 Cultivate relations with other societies in related disciplines.

4 Provide a central voice for the µSR community with respect to government and other funding agencies, international scientific organisations, and other bodies of relevance, and provide advice to these funding agencies, societies, etc.

5 Identify the needs of the µSR community, including future requirements for instrumentation and sources and optimal access to these sources, and to represent these needs to the institutions operating µSR facilities.

6 Carry out educational activities and stimulate, promote, and broaden the knowledge and use of µSR spectroscopy by organizing schools, workshops, courses, and seminars.

7 Promote young scientists in the field of µSR spectroscopy and provide a Young Scientist Award for outstanding work in the field of µSR spectroscopy. In exceptional cases, a Senior Scientist Award may also be given.
