Spanish Botanical Society

SEBOT is the organization that coordinates the main scientific societies in the field of Botany in Spain. It wants, on the one hand, to cover the deficit of a multidisciplinary botanical society, as it has been in the surrounding countries for more than a century, and at the same time to respond together to the challenge of valuing Spanish plant diversity and the usefulness that plants play in human welfare.

The federated societies are the Spanish Association of Aerobiology, the Spanish Society of Palynology, the Spanish Society of Plant Conservation Biology, the Spanish Society of Bryology, the Spanish Society of Geobotany and the Society of Ethnobiology. Together they exceed 750 members, who are mostly university professors, researchers, administration technicians, students, and botany enthusiasts, which has provided immense potential for action and dissemination to the federation since its inception in 2019. In addition, aware that several botanical groups lack their own scientific society, the possibility is offered to the rest of botanists to join this adventure individually through the figure of affiliate, thus enjoying virtually the same obligations and benefits that the members of the federated associations have.
