DZG Society information

The German Zoological Society (Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft e.V., DZG) was founded in 1890 in Frankfurt/Main and is one of the oldest zoological societies worldwide.

The DZG represents the zoological sciences in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The society promotes zoology as a modern, multi-disciplinary and integrative biological science and facilitates the exchange of recent scientific findings. The society aims to preserve and spread existing knowledge, to encourage excellent fundamental research and teaching, independent of political and economic ties. The society's international journal Frontiers in Zoology disseminates scientific research papers and commentaries in all zoological disciplines. The DZG is a non-profit organization.
