International Society of Vertebrate Morphology  

The ISVM promotes international collaboration and cooperation in vertebrate morphology and between vertebrate morphology and other biological sciences. ISVM sponsors International Congresses of Vertebrate Morphology (ICVMs) at 3-4 year intervals. Previous ICVMs took place in Giessen (1983), Vienna (1986), Antwerp (1989), Chicago (1994), Bristol (1997), Jena (2001), Boca Raton (2004), Paris (2007) and Punta del Este (2010).

Message from the President

Welcome to the International Society of Vertebrate Morphology (ISVM)!

The major mission of the ISVM is to organize the ICVM, the International Congress of Vertebrate Morphology. The ICVM has emerged as the premier conference for scientists researching the morphology of vertebrate animals at all levels of organization. The Congresses are held typically every three years, and their broad goal is to provide an opportunity for interaction, integration, and interfacing. Through a mixture of symposia, workshops, and open platform and poster sessions, everyone from senior scholars to students share ideas in an informal and genial setting.

The official ICVM-10 website is open: http://icvm2013.com/! Please visit this site for all official information on the Congress.

The official ICVM-10 Facebook page (www.facebook.com/ICVM10) is also a great place to check for news, announcements, and to interact with other vertebrate morphologists.

So, welcome…and plan to join us in Barcelona in 2013!

Best regards,
Lawrence M. Witmer, PhD, ISVM President
Professor of Anatomy and Chang Professor of Paleontology, Ohio University
