Palaeontology - window to prehistoric times and key to the future

Palaeontology researches the evolutionary history of life and the development of our planet. It provides essential findings for the understanding of climate and life processes - more relevant than ever.

The Paleontological Society promotes research, international exchange and dialog between science and the public. With over 800 members, including scientists, students and interested laypeople, it is one of the largest of its kind.

Its specialist journal, the “PalZ”, enjoys international recognition. The high proportion of students in particular reflects the society's focus on the future.

Immerse yourself in the world of past ages - we look forward to hearing from you!
