Dear Tapho Fellows
The
International Research Network 0871 Taphonomy European Network (TaphEN)
have been renewed by the french CNRS-INEE for the period 2022-2026,
under the direction of P. Fosse, J.P. Brugal as secretary. It is a
satisfaction to see that the CNRS is pursuing this program following the
results of the first mandate 2017-2021.
Taphen
is composed of several French labs, and partners in Portugal, Spain,
Italy Germany and England. In fact the program is open to all people
involved in Quaternary Taphonomy.
Scientific actions is proposed and concerns:
- Thematic actions within a working-groups (WG) frame;
- Support to young tapho scientists (for contribution in Meeting, stays in labs for competency acquisition/transfer);
- Support for organization of colloquia/congress or seminary;
- Implementation of research topics between universities, and co-direction of diplomas/degrees (Master or PhD)
- Free proposal to networking activities;
Some
focus actions could be prioritized as: Create and share DataBase, (as a
virtual ‘Taphotheque’, modern and fossil referential/natural and
experimental in vitro and in vivo, 2D/3D- comparative collection) ; to
demonstrate the variability of records (Tapho-facies, Tapho-diversity).
Likewise, comparatice subjects between cultural (archeology) and
natural (paleontology) sites, as well as between
fluviatile and karstic sites would be favored.
You can refer to our web site to get information on goals, partnership or WG.
The
conditions to apply and develop projects are i) to gather staff from at
least 2 European countries, ii) to have in some ways, (financial,
logistic, equipment..) co-fundings (through your lab or other
institutions)
You will find enclosed a first call for 2022, with a
deadline of the 11th of March.
It is highly recommend to use the obtained funds before October 2022.
Feel free to ask for applications, any suggestions or ideas and send all your message to

We remind you the TAPHOS meeting hold in Madrid-Alcala de Henares, 5-12th of June 2022, supported and organized by TaphEN and the
