The presentations conducted at XXVI Brazilian Congress of Paleontology will be grouped as thematic sessions in categories that depart from the usual themes in which paleontologists are grouped and (almost not) interact, whether taxonomic, temporal or spatially determined. In Uberlandia the sessions will be organized according to principles, approaches and techniques common to research areas that, although apparently are far from the traditional categorizations, are much closer than they might seem:
The Thematic Sessions below will be distributed in the Georges Cuvier (3Q), Charles Darwin (5S), Humboldt (5RA) and Diana Mussa (5RB) Auditoriums, according to the number of abstracts sent in the respective themes and the capacity of each place. There will be up to four simultaneous oral sessions in the mornings and afternoons of October 22, 23 and 24 and three poster sessions, in the same themes, in the afternoons of October 22, 23 and 24. Check out our Shedule.
