Future Meeting: 15th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Vertebrate Palaeontologists

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.

From 1-3 August 2017 the 15th annual meeting of the EAVP will be held in Munich, Germany, at the Palaeontological Museum hosted by the GeoBio-Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München. Pre-meeting workshops as well as a two-day field trip will frame the event. Overall, Munich will provide a unique conference environment since vertebrate palaeontology has more than a 200 year-long tradition at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and the Bavarian State Collections of Natural History. Fossils coming from world famous sites in southern Germany had a tremendous impact on evolutionary sciences in general (e.g.. Archaeopteryx) and knowledge of the evolution of certain vertebrate groups (e.g., mammals, pterosaurs).
