(eds.), 2020. Proceedings of INQUA SEQS 2020 Conference, Wrocław, Poland. University of Wrocław & Polish Geological Society, 124 p. Preface In the year 2019, we decided to organize the 2020 SEQS-INQUA conference “Quaternary Stratigraphy – palaeoenvironment, sediments, fauna and human migrations across Central Europe”. The original idea was to offer a conference program with a plenary oral presentation at a venue located in the Śnieżnik Mountains (in the Sudetes) combined with field sessions in the Sudeten caves, the Giant Mountains (Karkonosze) and the Kraków-Częstochowa Upland. The year 2020 is also the year of the 70th birthday jubilee of our friend, mentor and former Head of the Department of Paleozoology at University of Wrocław – Professor Adam Nadachowski, who is an acknowledged specialist in the field of mammalian palaeontology studying Neogene and Quaternary faunas of rodents in particular. Therefore, we desired to dedicate this conference to him. Unfortunately, the outbreak of the pandemic changed everything. Initially, postponing of the conference by one year was considered; however, after consulting the authorities of INQUA and the Section on European Quaternary Stratigraphy (SEQS), we decided to conduct the meeting this year in a virtual form and to stick to the previously agreed date. The aim is to organize the actual, ‘real’ meeting (including the field sessions) next year assuming that the travel restrictions are over. The interest in the proposed form of the symposium exceeded our expectations. We face an uneasy challenge to fit all into the limited time frame dictated by the formula of remote on-line conferences. We present a volume with the conference program, abstracts of the presentations and a brief description of the scientific achievements of Professor Adam Nadachowski. We hope that our virtual conference will be an interesting introduction to the ‘real’ meeting that we all miss so much. We would like to invite you to visit the University of Wrocław and the interesting research sites in Poland next year.
