Deutschsprachiges Ostracodologen-Treffen / German speaking Ostracodologists‘ Meetings 

The German speaking ostracodologists have been meeting relatively regularly since 1988 mainly to give students the opportunity to present their studies and strengthen the network in a friendly atmosphere. In 2012, this meeting was carried out as the International German Ostracodologists‘ Meeting (IGOM) with 64 participants at the occasion of Eugen Kempf’s 80th birthday. One year later, in 2013, this gathering celebrated Burkhard Scharf’s and Dietmar Keyser’s 70th birthday. More information and fotos are available for the years 1992, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014.

Ever since the pandemic hit, these meetings have not been continued.

The  ostracod model shown on this page was sold by „Frič’s Museum of Natural History“ in Prague at the beginning of the 20th century. Václav Frič opened his store in 1862, which soon became a renowned source of zoological, botanical and mineral specimens and models.
