The International Palaeontological Congress (IPC) is a quadrennial meeting of paleontologists from a variety of countries and disciplines. The International Paleontological Association and paleontological societies headquartered in various countries and specifically the Paleontological Society in the USA support it. It is open to all who are interested in paleontology. The meeting planned for June 16 through June 21, 2006 in Beijing, China will be the second IPC. The previous congress in Sydney, Australia in 2002 was an excellent opportunity for the presentation of the results of new research and for discussions of current areas of paleontological research. One aim of IPC is to allow specialists who would not otherwise normally be in contact to meet and exchange ideas. The Paleontological Society believes that the continued interest of students and young professionals is critical to the health of the field. Not only will they maintain the study of past life, they are the ones who will provide fresh approaches and examine old fossils with new eyes. IPC provides an outstanding educational opportunity to obtain focused presentations of global paleontological information from talks and poster presentations without the other distractions presented at a more provincial and general geological meeting. It also allows students the ready opportunity to meet with international leaders in the field and to discuss their research in progress, both formally and informally, in a venue not provided by a national or regional geologic meeting.

国际古生物学大会（International Palaeontological Congress，IPC）是一个由来自不同国家和学科的古生物学家参加的四年一度的会议。 国际古生物学协会和总部设在各国的古生物学会，特别是美国的古生物学会支持它。它向所有对古生物学感兴趣的人开放。 计划于2006年6月16日至6月21日在中国北京举行的会议将是第二届IPC。 2002年在澳大利亚悉尼举行的上一届大会是一个很好的机会，可以介绍新的研究成果，并讨论当前的古生物学研究领域。 IPC的一个目的是让那些通常不会接触的专家见面并交流想法。 古生物学会认为，学生和年轻专业人员的持续兴趣对该领域的健康至关重要。 他们不仅将继续研究过去的生命，他们将提供新的方法，并以新的眼光检查旧化石。 IPC提供了一个出色的教育机会，从讲座和海报展示中获得全球古生物学信息的重点介绍，而不会在更省级和一般的地质会议上出现其他干扰。 它还使学生有机会与该领域的国际领导人会面，并在国家或区域地质会议不提供的场所正式和非正式地讨论他们正在进行的研究。
