In the framework of the preparations for the 30th anniversary of its inauguration, the “Nelson Oscar Vassallo” Museum of Anthropology and Natural Sciences, under the Undersecretariat of Tourism of Concordia, began the Virtual Conference Cycle “Open scientific horizons: Landscapes and memories of deep Entre Ríos”, organized together with the CICyTTP-CONICET of Diamante and the Instituto Profesorado Concordia.
These sessions began with the keynote lecture “Fossilized trees associated with quaternary fluvial and palustrine formations of the Uruguay River basin”, led by Dr. Rita Soledad Ramos, independent researcher at CONICET and representative of the Paleobotany Laboratory of the CICyTTP (CONICET - Government of Entre Ríos - UADER).
Said dissertation marked the beginning of a program that will continue throughout October and November, with a total of seven meetings. Throughout the cycle, ten prominent scientists will address disciplines such as vertebrate paleontology, paleoethnobotany, paleobotany, ecology, and biology, with the aim of deepening knowledge about the natural and cultural heritage of the region.
A FEDERAL AND INTERNATIONAL CALL
The proposal generated broad academic and community interest, with registrations coming from different locations in Entre Ríos and Argentine provinces, from Jujuy to Chubut. Participants from Chile, Paraguay, Venezuela, Colombia, Uruguay, and Peru were also registered.
The virtual auditorium brought together a diverse audience, made up of teachers, scientists, researchers, park rangers, members of the armed forces, technicians and museum workers, tourism sector operators, and advanced students of different specialties.
In this way, the Vassallo Museum strengthens its role as a space for scientific dissemination and the valorization of natural and cultural heritage, within the framework of the activities that accompany the path towards its 30 years of history.
