History 
The International Society of Zoological Sciences (ISZS) is a nonpartisan,
nonprofit membership-based organization of professionals established in
2004 and aims to promote zoology by improving communication between zoologists and zoological organizations; increase the availability of resources needed to conduct zoological research; and promote coordination, collaboration and cooperation between different fields of zoology.
Role of the ISZS
By representing a broad cross-section of zoologists and others interested in animals, the ISZS provides a unified voice for zoologists across the world while elevating zoology to the global stage. Our core business is the organization of the International Congress of Zoology every four years, publishing a multidisciplinary scientific journal Integrative Zoology, organizing International Symposia of Integrative Zoology in non-Congress years, and facilitating international research programs.
Members of the ISZS
We currently have 88 institutional members (whom in turn represent over 30, 000 individuals) and more than 742 individual members. ISZS members can be found on every continent and include academies of science, universities, NGOs, nature reserves, zoos and other professional societies.
Governing structure
The ISZS is led by an eight-member committee elected during each General Assembly. It is currently comprised of active zoologists from Australasia, Europe, Asia, North America and the Middle East. Administration and program management is carried out by a Secretary General and permanent secretariat based in Beijing.
