The programme also includes talks and careers advice from invited insect scientists and interactive workshops to help develop skills to help further your careers. Please note due to their interactive nature\, workshop will only be available to those joining in person.  \n\n\n\nThe 2025 event will be run both in-person at the University of Reading and the talks will also be live streamed online.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nInvited speakers\n\n\n\nWe welcome the following invited speakers who will provide keynote talks and share their experiences and advice on careers in entomology. \n\n\n\nDave Goulson\, University of Sussex  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDave Goulson is Professor of Biology at University of Sussex\, UK.

SUMMARY:Big Give 2025
DESCRIPTION:Green Match Fund 2025\n\n\n\nHave your donation doubled between midday 22 and midday 29 April\n\n\n\n\nRead more about the campaign\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelp secure a future for the Large blue butterfly\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind out more and donate between 22 – 29 April\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrom midday 22 April until midday 29 April\, we’re taking part in the Big Give Green Match Fund to raise £20\,000 for conservation science.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Large blue\n\n\n\nThe iconic Large blue butterfly is a globally endangered species and was declared nationally extinct in 1979.  \n\n\n\nThanks to the unique expertise of our conservation science team over the past 30+ years we have successfully reintroduced this rare species to Gloucestershire and Somerset\, with new sites currently being identified. Seeing the Large blue fly across these landscapes has been a real conservation success story\, one that truly bucks the trend of biodiversity decline. \n\n\n\nHowever\, over the course of the last ten years\, there have been several extreme weather events which have seen the populations of these and associated species decline\, making this iconic butterfly particularly vulnerable to climate change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Big Give\n\n\n\nThe Big Give’s match funding campaigns offer a unique opportunity for you to double the difference you can make in the world for the causes close to your heart. \n\n\n\nTheir Green Match Fund is committed to amplifying the impact of every donation\, doubling the difference for global efforts to protect and preserve our planet\, making your support twice as powerful in driving meaningful change. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelp us raise £10\,000 which will be match funded via Big Give – That means your contributions will be DOUBLED\, giving us £20\,000 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe RES have a membership of over 5\,000 entomologists and insect enthusiasts. Just £1 from each member takes us half way to our target. \n\n\n\nYour kind donation will help to fund monitoring and vital equipment to carry out survey work: \n\n\n\n\nA donation of £20 could help to train new people to monitor Large blue butterfly populations.\n\n\n\nA donation of £50 could enable our team to undertake more ecological surveys on the current sites and research potential new sites for the species to thrive.\n\n\n\nA donation of £100 could support us with installing additional temperature data loggers on Large blue sites to monitor the impact of extreme weather events.\n\n\n\nA donation of £200 could pay towards the establishment of a new Large blue colony.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHave your donation doubled between 22 – 29 April\n\n\n\n\nFind out more and donate between 22 – 29 April\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubscribe to our newsletter to receive updates on this and other RES research projects\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubscribe to our newsletters
