Easy peasy! Just fill out the form and pay the €5 registration fee, unless you’re from a Lower or Lower-Middle Income country according to The World Bank. If you’re from a country facing issues with international transfers or PayPal, don’t sweat it! Drop us a message, and we’ll figure out a solution. Despite inflation, we’ve kept the registration fee unchanged to make it accessible to everyone. But hey, if you want to lend a hand, we’ve set up a space for donations this year, so we can keep hosting more editions without bumping up the costs! 

Once you’re successfully registered, we’ll shoot you an email with a username and password. That’ll get you into all the presentations and let you mingle with other participants!

Abstracts are submitted through this platform. Remember, they’ll undergo peer review, so don’t forget to include your favourite reviewers! We send abstracts for peer review to ensure top-notch quality, ’cause let’s face it, we’re not experts in every palaeontology field! Later, once all abstracts are accepted, we’ll publish an abstract book alongside previous years’.

We’re all about maintaining high scientific standards here. That’s why we send the abstracts we receive to the best specialists in each field, which includes you! Feel free to make any comments or changes directly to the text or use the evaluation sheet we sent along with the email. Remember, you’ve got 5 days to accept or amend it and 10 days to send us the corrections. Plus, as a token of appreciation, you’ll snag a free registration!

Nope, that’s a no-go! It’s strictly forbidden. Respect your colleagues’ work!

Absolutely not! You, and only you, retain copyright to your presentation. We only hold onto the presentations during the conference, and afterward, they’re wiped clean from our records. All we keep are the abstract book, names, and emails for keeping you in the loop about future updates, and these won’t ever be shared with third parties!

Each edition gives participants the chance to submit articles based on their abstracts to high- impact journals. But you have to do this directly through the platform of the journal of your choice, not through the conference organisers..

Check out this page for contest guidelines. Remember, there are some awesome prizes up for grabs, and just for participating, you’ll score a free conference registration!

If you’ve got questions or just wanna shoot the breeze, registered folks will have the official Discord channel available for interacting with others. Plus, you can drop comments on each presentation.

Piece of cake! Before the thematic session proposal deadline, session organizers need to send us an abstract, including an identifying image representative of your thematic session, along with the organizers’ names and affiliations. Once we green-light it we will let you know, then feel free to spread the word! We need a minimum of 5 presentations per proposed session for final publication. And hey, all organizers get a free registration and a special certificate! And don’t forget, organizers have obligations too: they need to promote the thematic session among their peers, moderate the discussions in Discord and comments section, and have their works peer-reviewed, plus they must accept abstracts based on reviewers’ and their own suggestions (though the final call lies with the conference organizers).

As a PVC ambassador, your job is to spread the word about our conference and share our social media posts on your own platforms to reach as many colleagues as possible! Plus, you’ll snag a special certificate, free conference participation, and a spot of honour on our website and in the abstract book.

A Virtual Fieldtrip is basically a 15-30 minute video showcasing your favorite museum, fieldtrip location, or excavation site! Just make sure to send us an abstract beforehand so we can include it in the abstract book!

There’s no program! All presentations are available 24/7 throughout the 15-day conference period, so you can enjoy them whenever suits you best!

Remember, it’s an online event! All you need is an internet connection to dive into the conference.

Absolutely! We’ll send out attendance, participation (one per presentation), review, thematic session organization, and ambassador certificates during the conference.

Thanks to all our participants and your support, we’ve grown every year! Check out the results from previous editions .

Palaeontological Virtual Congress is a non-profit organization based in Spain, run by us palaeontologists, and it doesn’t line our pockets, that’s for sure! If anything, it’s a health hazard!
