Padua (Padova in Italian) is a picturesque, historic city in Northern Italy (about 40 km west of Venice), with a dense network of arcaded streets, large communal “piazza” (squares) and many bridges crossing the various branches of the Bacchiglione. It hosts the almost 800 years-old Università di Padova, which is famous for having had Galileo Galilei among its lecturers.
Jacques Verniers and Philippe Steemans have proposed holding the 2014 CIMP General Meeting in Ghent and Liège, Belgium. The exact dates are to be confirmed, but it is suggested that the meeting is held in late June or early July so as not to conflict with the 4th IPC in Mendoza, Argentina. A five day meeting including pre-conference workshops and field/museum visits as well as a three day scientific session is planned.
During the 13th International Palynological Congress in Tokyo in late August the IFPS councillors voted to hold the 14th IPC in Brazil. This will be the first time that the IPC will be held in South America.
