To: PaleoNet subscribers and paleontologists everywhere From: International Palaeontological Association Dr. Richard J. Aldridge, President Dr. Rosalie F. Maddocks, Secretary-General Dr. Roger L. Kaesler, Treasurer The International Palaeontological Association (IPA) wishes to draw the attention of all paleontologists to the Second International Palaeontological Congress - IPC 2006 - to be held in Beijing, China, 17-21 June 2006. Full details are on the website at http://www.ipc2006.ac.cn/ The conference theme is 'Ancient Life and Modern Approaches' and there will be a wide variety of plenary sessions, general and topical symposia, short courses, workshops and special group meetings. The program will also feature mouth-watering field excursions to the fossil sites that have helped Chinese paleontology to grab so many headlines in recent years. The deadline for returning reply forms to the first circular is 1 June 2005. This conference will be a major event, so please don't miss the opportunity to get informed and involved. The IPA is co-sponsoring the conference with the China Association of Science and Technology, the Chinese Academy of Science, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Palaeontological Society of China, the Geological Society of China, and the China Geological Survey. Many national paleontological societies are corporate members of IPA; individual membership is also available via subscription to Lethaia, the international journal of paleontology and stratigraphy.
