Important

The 12th IMPR will take place (virtually) in Kiel (Germany) on September 8 –11, 2021. Exceptionally this time, the conference will be carried out in the frame of the 27th annual meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA).

To submit an abstract within IMPR-sessions, you have to be a member of the International Phytolith Society.

In addition, if you wish to participate to EAA-sessions, you should have as well the EAA membership for 2021.

EAA membership is usually mandatory to participate to EAA annual meetings, but if you wish to attend and present exclusively at IMPR-sessions, you can avoid the payment of the EAA membership. The memberships to IPS and EAA have additional advantages and do not include the conference fee.
