The Chilean Biology Society (Sociedad de Biología de Chile), previously the Biological Society of Santiago, was founded in late 1928 as a subsidiary of The Societé de Biologie of Paris, France. For several years the summaries of its communications were published in Comps Rendú of the Societé de Biologie du Paris. The Society is currently a member of the International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS).
The Chilean Biology Society promotes theoretical and experimental studies and research leading to advancement in and dissemination of the biological sciences for the benefit of the community. To accomplish this, the Society organizes periodic scientific meetings in which scientists communicate, comment and discuss research carried out in Chilean or foreign research laboratories. In addition, relations and cooperation with similar domestic and foreign institutions are stimulated, and communication by all appropriate means of biological research carried out in Chile.
Members of the Society will receive a discount on Revista Chilena de Historia Natural's article-processing charge when they provide a discount code (which members can obtain by emailing the Society) during the submission process. The discounted article-processing charge for Society members is €1090 in 2019.
The Society also publishes Biological Research (formerly Archives of Experimental Medicine and Biology, founded in 1964).
