Progressive Palaeontology (ProgPal) is an annual, free-to-register conference organised by students for students. The conference provides a welcoming, supportive space for ECRs to present their research and network with their peers. We are thrilled to be hosting ProgPal this year at the University of Liverpool from the 1st – 3rd June, and, while remaining true to the tried-and-tested elements of the conference, we will be introducing new initiatives to broaden its scope and appeal. Furthermore, in line with previous conferences, we remain committed to ensuring ProgPal is an inclusive, accessible environment for all!
Registration has been extended to the 5th of May (05/05)!
