Abstract

The article briefly characterises the Quaternary, defines the criteria for its identification within the stratigraphic table and discusses the principles of its internal division. International and national organisations that bring together Quaternary researchers are presented from a historical perspective. The importance of research related to the Quaternary is indicated, especially in terms of determining climate–environment interactions and taking into account increasing human impact. The second part of the article presents a brief description of the scientific issues raised in a post-conference collection of articles.
