Uma ampla equipa de investigadores do Centro de Geociências, Universidade Politécnica de Tomar e Instituto Terra e Memória participaram no XXI Congresso Mundial da União Internacional das Ciências Pré-Históricas e Proto-históricas, na Polónia. A delegação incluiu 6 investigadores integrados, 4 estudantes de doutoramento e 3 estudantes de mestrado, que coordenaram 8 sessões e apresentaram 21 comunicações (um terço das quais tendo como primeiro autor um estudante), nos domínios da arqueologia rupestre, da gestão do património e da Geoarqueologia. Colaboraram a distância outros 12 investigadores do CGeo (incluindo três estudantes).
A equipa do CGeo foi a maior de Portugal e uma das maiores a nível internacional.
A UISPP é a maior e mais antiga organização científica internacional de pré-história, tedo sido criada em 1865 (com a designação de Congressos Internacionais de Arqueologia e Antropologia Pré-Históricas) e refundada em 1931 (com a designação atual). Portugal acolheu os congressos mundiais de 1880, 1930 e 2006 (este último organizado pela nossa equipa).
