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:
Join as a Member or Fellow
Be part of a global community of insect scientists, enthusiasts, and educators.
Your membership with our learned Society helps fund our charitable mission while giving you access to exclusive events, publications, and networking opportunities, plus many other membership benefits.
Contribute to our Journals
The RES journals are central to our mission – advancing insect science and sharing vital knowledge with researchers, educators, and policymakers around the world.
Our peer-reviewed publications support the global entomology community, from early-career scientists to established experts, and contribute to the understanding of biodiversity, conservation, and sustainability. Income from our journals is reinvested into education, outreach, and research, helping us inspire and support the next generation of insect scientists.
