中国和德国古生物学会 2013 年古生物学国际会议
Joint conference of the “Paläontologische Gesellschaft“ and the “Palaeontological Society of China“
Palaeobiology & Geobiology of Fossil Lagerstätten through Earth History
Göttingen, Germany, September 23-27, 2013
In order to encourage and promote greater understanding and education with regard to the scientific and professional aspects of Palaeontology, the “Paläontologische Gesellschaft” (PalGes) and the “Palaeontological Society of China” (PSC) initiated a memorandum of understanding in 2012 on holding a joint scientific conference in Göttingen (Germany). This represents the first academic conference on palaeontology between the two palaeontological societies of China and Germany. The University of Göttingen, Germany, will host this first joint international conference of the PalGes and the PSC from September 23-27, 2013.
