The Royal Entomological Society (RES) has been working with partners both nationally and internationally to advance the study of insects, and to support a broader understanding of their roles in local, national and global ecosystems.

Ways to Support the Royal Entomological Society

As a registered charity and learned Society we depend on our community of insect experts and enthusiasts for collaborations, knowledge exchange and funding to support the future of insect science.

There are many ways you can help us continue this important work:
