About APC 3

Following the successful meetings in Beijing, China in 2019 and Tokyo, Japan in 2023, the 3rd Asian Palaeontological Congress (APC3) will be held from 2nd–5th March 2027 in Bangkok, Thailand, under the auspices of the Asian Palaeontological Association. The congress will be organised by the Palaeontological Research and Education Centre of Mahasarakham University in cooperation with the Department of Mineral Resources, the Geological Society of Thailand, and several Thai universities.

Palaeontology plays a vital role in unraveling the mysteries of the past and shedding light on the history of life on our planet. By analysing fossils and geological evidences, palaeontologists reconstruct past environments and evolutionary processes that have shaped biodiversity on Earth over billions of years. APC3 will provide a platform for participants to share new research results, discuss scientific ideas and hypotheses, and engage in collaborative discussions that contribute to the advancement of palaeontological research in Asia.

This congress will provide opportunities for experts, young researchers and students from Asia and around the world to collaborate and share their knowledge for a better understanding of the evolution of life on Earth.
