Fellowship application

Enhance your resumé and support others with your expertise by applying for Fellowship.

We are a community of members and fellows devoted to the study and science of insects. Fellowship may be regarded as an academic qualification, awarded following assessment by the Society.

Your fellowship fee will be refunded if Fellowship is not awarded.

Fellowship is open to entomologists who have made a significant contribution to their science, through evidence of achievement, experience or publications.

Fellows are entitled to make use of the title “Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society” and the suffix FRES.

Fellowship offers many benefits:

• The opportunity to meet other entomologists in many disciplines.
