TMS-CFFR Foraminifera Spring Meeting 2025, June 10-13: REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN:

On behalf of The Micropalaeontological Society and the Cushman Foundation of Foraminiferal Research, we would like to invite you to attend the second joint TMS-CFFR Foraminifera Spring Meeting, this time organized on June 10-13, 2025 in Gothenburg (Sweden).

Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden and is easy to reach by airplane at Landvetter Airport, but also by train from Stockholm (Arlanda Airport), Copenhagen (Kastrup Airport) and Oslo (Gardemoen Airport), and we look forward to welcoming many of you on site. To facilitate participation online the conference will be held in full hybrid mode. Visiting Gothenburg in June will allow you to experience long sunny days, mild temperatures (15-20°C), and the lush greenery of the Gothenburg Botanical Garden and city parks. Gothenburg is also a gateway to one of Sweden’s most beautiful island groups: Gothenburg Archipelago, which comes to life in June and can be explored by boat. June is just before the peak of the summer tourist season and will offer shorter queues to the most popular Gothenburg attractions such as Liseberg Amusement Park, The Gothenburg Art Museum, The Universeum Science Center and The Exhibition Center World of Volvo.

The title of the meeting will be “Foraminifera as a marine magnifying glass: tiny details, big insights from fossils to molecules” to reflect the various aspects of foraminiferal research ranging from paleo-approaches in climate and ocean research to experimental, Al-based and marine environmental studies, ecology, taxonomy, biogeography, phylogeny, as well as fossil applications in industry, forensics and archaeology. The conference will include a one-day field trip to the newly appointed UNESCO Global Geopark at Kinnekulle with its well-known Cambrian alum shales and Ordovician limestones (June 10), and two full days of scientific sessions filled with keynote, oral and poster presentations at Wallenberg Centre (June 11 & 12).

We look forward to welcoming you in Gothenburg!

The Micropalaeontological Society

Towards the advancement of the education of the public in the study of Micropalaeontology

The Micropalaeontological Society (TMS) exists “to advance the education of the public in the study of Micropalaeontology” and is operated “exclusively for scientific and educational purposes and not for profit”. It was initiated as The British Micropalaeontological Group (BMG) in 1970, following a proposal by Professor Leslie Moore of the University of Sheffield and several colleagues who wished to organise a group of palaeontologists with a mutual interest in the micropalaeontological study of British type sections and the provision of a forum for the communication of their results.
