Dear colleagues,
The European School on Ostracoda, ESO 11, will leave Europe for the
first time in August 2026. We are pleased to announce that the
organisers of ISO20 in Beijing support our training course this year.
Thus, we are able to present our short course immediately before the
International Symposium on Ostracoda. ESO will be hosted by China
University of Geosciences in Beijing. The course will take place from
August 12 to 16, 2026.
As always, the course will introduce the concepts, methods and content
of ostracod research, covering both the fields of paleontology and
biology. It will provide insights into the taxonomy, morphology,
biodiversity, geological history, shell chemistry, (paleo)ecology and
applied biostratigraphy of ostracods in lectures and practical
exercises. The course is aimed at young scientists such as PhD
students who want to enter the field of ostracodology or postdocs who
want to expand their knowledge of ostracods.
