International Federation of Palynological Societies

The International Federation of Palynological Societies (IFPS) is an organization that connects various groups focused on the study of palynology, which is the science of pollen, spores, and microscopic particles. This federation promotes research, collaboration, and sharing of knowledge among scientists worldwide. It organizes conferences, publishes findings, and supports education in palynology, helping to advance our understanding of past ecosystems, climate changes, and even applications in fields like archaeology and forensics. Essentially, the IFPS fosters communication and scientific progress in the study of these tiny but significant biological materials.
