ISO

Since 1963, conferences on living and fossil ostracods have been organized regularly for experts to promote international dialogue and stimulate the exchange of research ideas. Personal communication and multinational collaborations helped bridge the gap between biologists and geologists. Over time, a strong and respected network of ostracod researchers from all nations emerged, working on all geological epochs.

The main conference is the International Symposium on Ostracoda (ISO) that is now held every four years. In the past years about 150 members of the International Research Group on Ostracoda use to attend this meeting. Scientific contributions are published as peer-reviewed research articles in special issues of international journals.
