The Alpine region is one of the "type areas" of the world for the reconstruction of the main events marking the palaeoclimatic evolution of the last 2.6 millions years. The last meeting of the INQUA-SEQS (Bern, September 2005) allowed people from geology, palaeoecology, palaeoclimatology, and geochronology to meet and face old problems, such as the theory of past glaciations, with a new light. The Milano conference will contribute to compare the Quaternary history from the different sides of the Alps and of Europe, by removing geographical and language barriers. The Alpine region can be reconciliated within the European stratigraphic framework integrating relative and absolute chronologies and building up common reference scales. Scientists and students from outside the topic area are welcome in that they provide the independent knowledge to distinguish the effect of global events from local signals. The Quaternary evolution of the Alps and of related sedimentary basins is considered a reference for the many mountain ranges of the Circum-Mediterranean, European and Asiatic regions, including e.g. the North Africa, the Iberian peninsula, the Carphatians, the Middle East, and the Pontic, Taurid, Armenian chains. Contributions from all these countries are welcome.
