societas europaea herpetologica

The Societas Europaea Herpetologica (SEH) is a society of nearly 350 members (professional and non-professional herpetologists) from European and other countries.

• SEH publishes a quarterly journal, Amphibia-Reptilia, and an open access online journal, Herpetology Notes. Generally every other year, SEH organises an international conference at different venues in Europe at which members can participate at reduced fee.

• SEH is an international non-governmental member of IUCN - the World Conservation Union.

• SEH is controlled by its statutes and by-laws, and the Executive Council, whose members are elected by members of the Society at Ordinary General (Business) Meetings.

• SEH has three committees. The Conservation Committee, the Mapping Committee and the Taxonomic Committee.

• SEH annually awards the SEH Grant in Herpetology (up to EUR 5000) to a project that is orientated to conservation of the amphibians and reptiles of Europe and the Mediterranean basin, focused on either a species or habitat.
