We must understand the past in order to move toward the future.

The 2024 "New Prospect on the Paleontological Research in Taiwan" International Conference will be grandly held in Tainan in September. It aims to review the glorious history of Taiwan's paleontology research and the Cailiao River located in Zuojhen District, which has rich fossil archaeological resources and the profound connection between the field and paleontological research. We look forward to the future of paleontological research in Taiwan by this seminar.

We sincerely invite scholars, fossil research enthusiasts, and young students in related fields from home and abroad to actively participate in this call for papers covering all aspects of paleontology research in Taiwan, and to participate in this academic feast together. Through interactions with scholars from domestic and international academic circles, we aim to promote academic exchange and collaboration, sparking new insights in the field of paleontological research.

Papers should be written in the form of an abstract within 500 words, in either Chinese or English, and please include the title, publisher and affiliation.

We look forward to the enthusiastic participation of all researchers and enthusiasts. We can together explore the changes in nature and cultural context across hundreds of thousands of years. While understanding the past, we also pursue the infinite possibilities of Taiwan’s paleontology research and shape it into an indispensable part of Tainan's unique cultural landscape.

We sincerely invite you to participate and outline a new blueprint for the future of paleontology research in Taiwan!
