The SZS is open to people who are interested in zoology and is a member of the Swiss Academy of Sciences (SCNAT). In collaboration with botanic and systematic societies, the SZS organises an annual two-day conference on a specifically SELECT_ed topic, in the framework of their common interests in ecology, behavioural biology and evolution. The «Revue Suisse de Zoologie», published in collaboration with the Natural History Museum of Geneva, is an internationally renowned specialised journal and, at the same time, the official publication of the SSZ. In addition, the SSZ offers several travel grants to its active students each year, allowing the young scientists to participate in international conferences.
