This meeting is postponed from September 2020. The 12th congress of the Argentine Paleontological Association (APA) will commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Association, featuring recent advances in the field of palaeontology in Argentina. This meeting aims to promote a favourable environment to exchange knowledge and coordinate joint actions between palaeontologists, museum workers, biologists, related Earth scientists, teachers, students and institutions linked to the areas of education, protection and tourism, strengthening links between palaeontologists and the broader community. Advances in the field and outreach communication are fundamental for the conservation of Argentinean palaeontological heritage.
