Mansoura University to Participate with Five Research Abstracts at the International Vertebrate Paleontology Society Annual Meeting in the USA

Mansoura University, represented by its Vertebrate Paleontology Center, will participate with five research abstracts accepted for presentation at the International Vertebrate Paleontology Society Annual Meeting, scheduled to be held in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, from November 11-14, 2026.

 The International Vertebrate Paleontology Society Annual Meeting is the largest global scientific gathering specializing in vertebrate paleontology. It brings together leading scientists, researchers, and representatives from universities, museums, and scientific research institutions from around the world to discuss the latest discoveries and scientific findings in the field of vertebrate paleontology and to exchange research experiences and perspectives.

 Mansoura University's participation with five research abstracts showcases the progress achieved by the Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center in specialized scientific research. These abstracts present new discoveries and research findings, representing the culmination of master's theses and doctoral dissertations conducted by young researchers at the center. This reflects the university's efforts to cultivate a generation of qualified Egyptian researchers and support scientific research based on fieldwork and specialized study.

 The Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center continues its pioneering role in discovering, studying, and documenting Egypt's fossil heritage through fieldwork and research that has contributed to revealing important chapters in the history of life in Egypt and Africa. Among the center's most notable achievements are the discovery of the dinosaur Mansourasaurus, the whale Totsits, and the ancient ape Misripithecus—discoveries that have garnered widespread attention in scientific and media circles both in Egypt and internationally.

 The center's research efforts have also been reflected in international scientific publications, with its research appearing in several leading global journals, including Science, Science Advances, Nature Ecology & Evolution, and Communications Biology. This strengthens Mansoura University's scientific presence and standing in the field of vertebrate paleontology, and confirms its ability to compete in specialized scientific research at both the regional and international levels.

 Mansoura University extends its sincere congratulations to the team and researchers of the Mansoura University Vertebrate Paleontology Center on the acceptance of these scientific contributions, wishing them continued success and further research achievements that reflect the university's stature and contribute to enhancing the presence of Egyptian scientific research in international scientific forums.
