Mission & Interests
Goals: CETAF is the Consortium of European Taxonomic Facilities: a European network of Natural Science Museums, Natural History Museums, Botanical Gardens and Research Centres with their associated biological collections and research expertise.
The CETAF network comprises 77 of the largest taxonomic institutions from 25 European countries. Its member institutions hold biological collections and conduct taxonomic research. Our collections comprise an estimated 1.5 billion specimens, and more than 80% of the World’s described species of animals, plants, rocks or genetic resources that are used for scientific research and outreach. Owing to these collections, CETAF collectively represents an unprecedented resource for scientific research across the globe acting as the custodian of our common human heritage. CETAF member institutions dedicate themselves to the preservation of this rich heritage and its promotion through initiatives and projects.
