Als Deutsche Quartärvereinigung sprechen wir uns mit Nachdruck für den Frieden und für das Selbstbestimmungsrecht aller Staaten aus. Darin wissen wir uns eng verbunden mit Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aller Nationalitäten, Religionen und Disziplinen weltweit. Unsere Gedanken sind bei den Menschen, die in der Ukraine unverschuldet um ihr Leben fürchten müssen, ebenso wie bei den mutigen Menschen in Russland, die ihre eigene Freiheit riskieren, indem sie für den Frieden aufstehen.
The German Quaternary Association speaks up for peace and for the right of sovereignty of all states. In this we stand closely together with scientists of all nationalities, religions and disciplines worldwide. Our thoughts are with the people in Ukraine who have to fear for their lives, as well as with the brave people in Russia who are risking their own freedom by standing up for peace.
Communinty. Exchange. Research
The German Quaternary Association (Deutsche Quartärvereinigung, DEUQUA e.V.) is the official union of German speaking Quaternary scientists. The aim of the Association is to support Quaternary science, to present it to the public, to intensify contacts to the applied sciences, and to provide advice to public and political authorities on issues related to Quaternary science. Furthermore, the Association supports networking among Quaternary scientists and related organizations worldwide.
E&G Quaternary Science Journal
DEUQUA publishes the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary open-access journal E&G Quaternary Science Journal twice per year.
EGQSJ publishes peer-reviewed articles and express reports, as well as thesis abstracts related to Quaternary geology,
paleo-environments, paleo-ecology, soil science, paleo-climatology, geomorphology, geochronology, archaeology, and geoarchaeology focussing on, but not limited to, research from central
Europe.

Submit an extra abstract to INQUA!
Dear colleagues,
In recognition of the urgency and importance of including as many people as possible in the fairest possible way in Quaternary Science, the INQUAROMA2023 committee have kindly exempted the
sessions below from the usual limits to participation in an INQUA Congress – explained here. In addition to one oral and one poster presentation on your scientific research, you can also submit
an abstract to one of the sessions below that address this significant issue in Quaternary Science. This is confirmed on the abstract submission platform once you have logged in.
Colleagues who are early career or based in developing countries can also benefit from INQUA travel awards of up to €3750 to attend – Congress Attendance Support - International Union for Quaternary Research - INQUA
Full details of the sessions can be found here - Conference
sessions – summaries are below:
INQUA 2023, Theme 7, Session 108 - Equitable and ethical knowledge production in Quaternary Science
This session addresses the problem of ‘parachute science’ and solutions to this, for example: how to enhance the global visibility of local science; norms to protect local IP, particularly when
science is published in local languages; suggestions for initiatives for effective and fair collaborations between researchers across nationalities; capacity building in lower-income countries;
the ethics of removal of samples and artefacts from their native countries for study and / or display elsewhere; best practices in teaching to include work by in-country researchers.

INQUA 2023, Theme 7, Session 187 - Equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives in the Quaternary Sciences
This session addresses diversity and inclusion across all characteristics. We welcome case studies of effective approaches to increase EDI across a wide range of relevant spaces, for example
field, laboratory, conference, classroom and online. We also welcome contributions rooted in data, for example exploring demographics of the Quaternary Science community as a whole or in certain
parts of the world, or investigating involvement in specific sub-disciplines, methods or work environments.
