Dear Friends and Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that the International School on Foraminifera will organize the 6th Course, which will be held in Urbino (Italy) on June 4-18, 2013.
This fourteen-day intensive course is specifically designed to provide an overview of the Taxonomy, Ecology, Biodiversity, and Geological History of Foraminifera. The course is intended for students interested in Micropalaeontology, Paleoceanography, Paleoecology, Climate History, and industrial applications. The course structure consists of morning lectures and afternoon microscope sessions.
