As part of our strategic plan, the Royal Entomological Society has committed to be an independent voice to decision makers for the application and advancement of insect science. This is part of our strategic priority to support the study and practice of insect science.
We provide independent and authoritative scientific advice to international decision makers. If you are seeking policy advice from the Royal Entomological Society please contact us here.
In 2023, the RES published the Grand Challenges in Entomology: Priorities for action in the coming decades. This project identified 61 priority challenges that should be addressed in future research and funding. The paper, published Open Access in Insect Conservation and Diversity, can be found here: https://resjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/icad.12637
