FIELD TRIPS OVERVIEW

A diverse array of Field Trips is being organised for delegates and accompanying persons. Field Trips will be held in Italy and in some Mediterranean Countries. Field Trips will run both prior to and after the XXI INQUA Congress. Please consider that we will be in full tourist season especially after the Congress so that the number of pre-Congress fieldtrips is greater than post-Congress.

There will also be various one-day mid-congress trips on Sunday 16 July, both in Rome and its surroundings.

Preliminary details of each Field Trip are reported below. Their costs will be detailed in the second circular to be issued in April 2022. The deadline for fieldtrip registration will be on February 2023. The cancellation policy due to possible Covid restriction will be the same of the Congress registration (full reimbursement if due to travelling limitation).

The proposed number of field trips (pre-congress, post-congress e one-day mid-congress excursions) exceeds the real number that will actually take place, considering the number of delegates we are expecting in Rome. However, given the enthusiastic answer we received from Italian, Mediterranean, and circum-Alpine colleagues, we decided to keep all of them in our programme, so as to maintain a rich and diversified offer.

After the deadline for early registration (February 2023), we will select a maximum number of 20 field trips, on the basis of pre-registered participants, which will cover all the fields of Quaternary Sciences.
