CEPEC - IMQP Conference

The First Congress of Palaeoecology and Cultural Evolution Studies (CEPEC25) is an initiative strongly supported by the International Master in Quaternary and Prehistory (IMQP). Designed especially for early career researchers, the congress promotes interdisciplinary dialogue in prehistoric studies. Hosted at IPHES-CERCA in Tarragona, it draws on the IMQP network to create a space for academic exchange and collaboration. Students and alumni of the IMQP are warmly encouraged to participate. CEPEC25 will take place on October 22–24, 2025.

IMQP Publication -HOH field school

Sangiran Today II: Sharing Heritage presents the outcomes of the Human Origins Heritage (HOH) and Sangiran International Youth Forum (SIYF) 2025 project, held at the Sangiran World Heritage Site in Indonesia. The volume documents an international participatory school involving students, researchers, and local communities from Indonesia and Europe. It explores interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches to heritage education, scientific communication, and sustainable development. Through collaborative fieldwork and creative outputs, participants reinterpreted the history of Sangiran and its global significance for human evolution studies. The book includes scientific reflections, pedagogical discussions, and students’ projects on topics such as Pithecanthropus erectus, adaptation, and museum communication. It highlights the role of heritage as a bridge between science and society and as a tool for intercultural dialogue and local empowerment.
