The abstracts will be 300 words long and in English. Just scroll the page and download it! The abstract book will be published in collaboration with Sociedad Española de Paleontologia. The submission will be open until the 17th of February. There is a limit of two abstracts per main author for the registration.
POSTERS
The posters will be vertical in A1 size (594 x 841 mm) and in English (deadline for sending these will be 24 of March). The organization will be available to print them before the meeting by paying an extra fee of 10 euros. Poster session must be presencial.
TALKS
The congress will be in person, but attendees will be able to do presentations and attend the meeting also via Zoom. The talks can be in English, Spanish, and Portuguese, but slides must be in English. However, we encourage the use of English also for talks. They will be 10 minutes long, with another 5 minutes for questions. The slides should be sent to the organization before the meeting. The use of videos or other audiovisual media should be communicated to the organization beforehand. Authors with oral communication can attend via Zoom.

SPEAKERS
victor beccari
Brazilian PhD student at SNSB-BSPG, Munich, currently working on Jurassic rhynchocephalians.
Previous works involved pterosaur, dinosaurs, and other reptiles. The common ground for his work is always using 3D methods, which involves photogrammetry, image segmentation, and Blender to handle, render, and curate 3D models.
LUCa pandolfi
He was recently appointed tenure-track Associate Professor at UNIBAS (IT). He works on large mammals (e.g., Hippopotamidae, Rhinocerotidae, Cervidae) from the Neogene and Quaternary of Eurasian and Africa, focusing on their morphology, morphometry, evolution, and phylogeny. He combines the classical palaeontological methods with new tools of investigations and new approaches in virtual environment.
Carla TomÁs
She is the chief preparator and lab manager at Museu da Lourinhã with almost 20 years of experience in fossil preparation and conservation. She is also responsible for the curation of the Paleontology collection of Museu da Lourinhã. During her career she prepared and managed the preparation of many important specimens, including fossil embryos. She is currently a PhD student at Universidade Nova de Lisboa.
Soledad de Esteban
Director at Transmitting Science, Barcelona, Spain.
PhD on ecomorphology and body mass estimation of xenarthrans. Now she is specialized in statistical analysis and geometric morphometrics, applying in research and teaching.

ROUND-TABLES
Two roundtables will be organised during the congress.
The first one will be about “Inclusivity in paleontology”, will address the impediments women, LGBTQIA+ community, persons of color, and neurodivergent people can encounter in their early career (and even later) in paleontology and academic research; and which solutions can be implemented to solve them and create safe, inclusive, and adapted working environments.
The second one, “Portuguese paleontological heritage”, will explore what is done in Portugal to protect geological and paleontological heritage, with entities such as the Aspiring Geoparque Oeste, which issues researchers may encounter, with notably the challenge of fossil hunters, and what could be done to improve the situation compared to other countries legislation, such as Spain.
Fieldtrips
Two fieldtrips.
Lourinhã: this field trip will focus on the Upper Jurassic continental deposits around the Lourinhã municipality, where rich vertebrate assemblages, including dinosaurs, have been found.
Peniche: this fieldtrip will focus on the Toarcian GSSP, and subsequently will include Pleistocene Furninha cave. We will have the opportunity to explore a rich invertebrate assemblage and one of the most striking quaternary fauna of Portugal.
Participants of both fieldtrips will lunch at the Dinopark Lourinhã and visit it. The fieldtrips will finish around 17:00-18:00 at Lourinhã. The price for the field trips will be 10 euros.
LourinHã
The town of Lourinhã has been nicknamed the “capital of the dinosaurs” of Portugal. It is home of the Museum of Lourinhã, which has been key for paleontology in Portugal since 1984 and the Dino Parque of Lourinhã, a thematic park with hundreds of figures of life-size dinosaurs which attracts tens of thousands of visitors per year to the region.
It also sits at the core of the “Aspiring Geoparque Oeste”, with a rich geological heritage, spanning from the Middle Jurassic marine limestones of the Planalto das Cesaredas, to the continental deposits where thousands of Late Jurassic dinosaur remains have been found. Lourinhã is sitting on the wider Lusitanian basin, one of the most important Mesozoic basins from the East Atlantic.
The town itself lives in a perpetual “dinofever” as the population has embraced the dinosaurs as symbols of their identity, which is evident looking at the signs of stores and enterprises around the village, and the sigil of the municipality itself.
