Future Meetings

The IPC is organized every four year. After Sydney (Australia) in 2002, Beijing (China) in 2006, London (United Kingdom) in 2010 and Mendoza (Argentina) in 2014, it will convene in Paris (France) in 2018.

Under the auspices of the International Palaeontological Association (IPA) and with the participation of the whole French Palaeontological community, “the Fossil week” will be organized in 2018 in Paris, July 9th-13th. This event is a unique opportunity for our community to present its new results and discuss all aspects of our discipline.

The European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists (EAVP) promotes annual international meetings for an interchange of research in all subfields of vertebrate palaeontology in a European location. A major focus is the fostering of international collaboration, paying great attention to the encouragement and assistance for students to become part of projects and a source of future vertebrate palaeontologists.

On behalf of the organization committee we would like to extend a warm welcome and invite you to Dublin in August 2018 to attend the 10th European Palaeobotany and Palynology Conference. The disciplines of palaeobotany and palynology are integrative and multidisciplinary by nature. As a community we are constantly seeking new tools and techniques to answer both long-standing and new questions.

Cambrian Burgess Shale-type fossil Lagerstätten are renowned for providing the best evidence of the Cambrian explosion and have provided a major contribution to our knowledge of all perspectives of the early arthropods. Indeed, many excellent work on the evolution of Cambrian arthropods has been showed by the colleagues in the last decade. The workshop will be focused on recent rapid advances in our understanding in taxonomy, ontogeny and phylogeny of Cambrian arthropods, and hopefully it will prompt us to extend coverage even more widely to encompass additional topics.

Every few years the International Meeting on Taphonomy and Fossilization brings together palaeontologists, archaeologists, biologists and sedimentologists as well as other researchers interested in all of aspects of taphonomy, the study of decay and fossilization of organisms.

Previous Taphos meetings have been held in Madrid 1990, Zaragoza 1995, Valencia 2002, Barcelona 2005, Granada 2008, Tübingen 2011 and Ferrara 2014.

SVPCA is a meeting for current research in vertebrate palaeontology and comparative vertebrate anatomy, and has been held annually in the UK, Ireland or France since 1953. The meeting is held in conjunction with SPPC, a forum for discussion of fossil preparation, conservation, and related topics co-organised with the Geological Curator’s Group.
