Ento '10 - online registration now open

   

Ento '10, the RES National Science Meeting, will be held at Swansea University from the morning of Monday 26th to the afternoon of Wednesday 28th July 2010. The registration desk will be open from 2pm on Sunday the 25th.

Online registration is now open.

Our theme is "21st Century Challenges and Applications" and the undercurrent in our wide-ranging sessions will be the applied aspects of entomology - be they new strategies for pest control or conservation, exploitation of beneficial species, or even insects in space! Invited speakers include Dr. Sharmila Bhattacharya (NASA), Prof. Eloi Garcia (Oswaldo Cruz Institute, Brazil). We encourage delegates to participate in a new industry - academia networking workshop that will run during the meeting.

Please see the registration leaflet for further details.

Welcome

The Royal Entomological Society plays a major national and international role in disseminating information about insects and improving communication between entomologists.  Read more

The Society was founded in 1833 as the Entomological Society of London and is the successor to a number of short-lived societies dating back to 1745.

The first meetings were held in the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's Street. Various other places in their turn became the scene of the Society's activities before the freehold of the headquarters at 41 Queen's Gate was bought in 1920, where the Society stayed until 2007 when the Mansion House at St Albans was purchased.

In 1855 a Royal Charter was granted to the Entomological Society by Queen Victoria and the privilege of adding the word "Royal" to the title was granted by King George V in 1933, the Centenary of the Society's foundation.

Many eminent scientists of the past, Darwin and Wallace to mention but two, have been Fellows of the Society. Through the years most internationally recognised entomologists have been and are, numbered among the Fellowship.
