The Royal Entomological Society has a vision
to enrich the world with insect science.
More than one million different species of
insect have been described to date. They are the
most abundant group of animals in the world
and live in almost every habitat. Insects have
lived on Earth for more than 350 million years.
Entomology is crucial to our understanding of
food sustainability, human diseases, evolution,
ecology and biodiversity.
We support entomology through our seven
international scientific journals and our insect
identification handbooks. We hold global and
specialist scientific meetings to provide a forum
for sharing and promoting cutting edge research.
The Royal Entomological Society has a


grants, awards and bursaries programme to
support entomologists whether they are
professionals, experts, students or enthusiasts.
The Society also funds, organises and
supports events and activities for anyone who
wants to learn more about insects and
entomology through its outreach and education
programmes, such as Insect Week.
Our recent strategy was developed in
consultation with our membership. From 2022
to 2025 our four strategic priorities are to:


  • Support the study and practice
    of insect science

  • Increase public understanding
    of insect science


Signal Boost



  • Empower and support the
    entomological community

  • Invest in our workforce and
    infrastructure.
    With our 200th anniversary in sight we
    continue to improve and communicate
    entomological science. Our new strategy will
    build on successes as a progressive, inclusive
    Society at the forefront of science.
