5th International Meeting of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology

The 5th International Meeting of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology (IMERP) will be held online from 18-21 May 2021.

This meeting was originally scheduled for 18-21 May 2020 in Akmenė, Lithuania.

Description

The IMERP is aimed at early-stage paleontologists, from undergraduate students to recent post-doctoral researchers. Geologists, biologists or any scientist with research topics related to paleontology, as well as paleoartists, are also welcome.

The IMERP has two main objectives:

- To provide a friendly environment for early-stage researchers to share their research through oral or poster presentations and follow each other’s progress.
- To share new methods and ideas useful in paleontology, and develop the skills of the attendees with the help of leading experts, invited to give lectures about their fields.

Background

The IMERPs were usually held in villages or towns located in countryside areas of geological interest. This way the meeting could be held in a closer and more friendly environment.

The 1st IMERP was held in 2016, the 2nd IMERP was held in Sigri (Lesbos, Greece) in 2017, the 3rd IMERP in Krasiejów (Opole, Poland) in 2018 and 4th IMERP in Cuenca (Spain) in 2019.
