The Symposium was held in conjunction with the Tenth Field Conference of the Cambrian Stage Subdivision Working Group of the ISCS. Technical sessions were held in the conference center of Southeast University, and hosted by the Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Geological Institute, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, and Guizhou University. Associated with the meeting were five field excursions to classical Cambrian localities in North China and South China.展开更多

Four days filled with scientific sessions, workshops and a mid-symposium fieldtrip attracted 160 participants. As expected, the scientists from Germany were the but surprisingly they were closely followed by a large delegation from Japan, which had hosted the previous 14th meeting in Shizuoka. Under the slogan ＂Ostracodology--linking bio- and geosciences＂, the 15th International Symposium on Ostracoda, mainly organized by Michael and Ulla Schudack, Steffen Mischke, Benjamin Sames and Rolf Kohring from the Institute of Geological Sciences of the Freie Universitaet Berlin, assembled the international community of biologists and palaeontologists working on ostracods or using their shells. This was the second time that the meeting was held in Germany, the first being the 5th meeting in 1974 in Hamburg more than 30 years ago. In comparison with the meeting in Shizuoka, the number of participants in Berlin increased by more than 50%, probably mainly due to the good accessibility of the venue for participants from Europe.展开更多
