ISVM

The International Society of Vertebrate Morphology (ISVM) promotes international collaboration and cooperation in vertebrate morphology and between vertebrate morphology and other biological sciences. To do so, ISVM sponsors the International Congresses of Vertebrate Morphology (ICVMs), an exquisite forum for researchers in vertebrate morphology, engaged in fields as diverse as functional morphology, evo-devo, paleontology, and modeling, to name but a few. The Congresses are held typically every three years, and their broad goal is to provide an opportunity for interaction, integration, and interfacing. Through a mixture of symposia, workshops, poster sessions, and lightning talks, everyone from senior scholars to students shares ideas in an informal and stimulating environment.
The next meeting will be held in Halifax, NS, in 2027 (date will be updated soon). Stay tuned for official information on the next Congress: ICVM-15.

The last ICVM Congress, ICVM-14, held virtually in August 2025, was an overwhelming success, both in terms of the quality and diversity of the science that was presented and the number of attendants.  
We are looking forward to meeting you in 2027 in Halifax, NS!
