BioSyst EU represents European scientists dealing with topics of systematic biology. It considers itself as a collaborative counterpart to the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities (CETAF, where European natural history institutions have joined). In BioSyst EU individual scientists are represented via their national or regional societies.
BioSyst EU aims to provide a European platform to:
Society for Biological Systematics (Gesellschaft für Biologische Systematik, GfBS)
Network of Biological Systematics Austria (NOBIS), Austria
Svenska Systematikföreningen, Sweden
Swiss Systematics Society, Switzerland
As observer: Italy (Sandro Minelli)
As observer: Netherlands (Eric Smets)
On the very first joint European conference in Leiden on 14 August 2009, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU, pdf file) was signed, regulating the collaboration of the national societies.
