International Entomological Society Leadership Meeting
Tuesday 27, 6.30pm to 8.30pm
Insects know no borders, which means that we as entomologists must also rely on cross-border cooperation and communication. Building on the success of a meeting of international entomological society leaders held during the recent European Congress of Entomology in Greece, up to three leaders or senior nominated representatives of any international entomological organisation are invited to join this workshop meeting where we will focus on common challenges such as Society publishing, examine shared interests, and discuss ways that the societies can work more closely together.
Organisers:
- Simon Ward, Royal Entomological Society
- Jane Hill, Royal Entomological Society
- Chris Stelzig, Entomological Society of America
- Dionysios Perdikis, Hellenic Entomological Society
- Walter Leal, Council of the International Congress of Entomology
- Kenji Matsuura, The Entomological Society of Japan
