The Collegium Palynologicum Scandinavicum (CPS) was established as a society of palynologists in the Scandinavian countries. CPS was founded in 1969 by Professor Gunnar Erdtman and a group of Nordic palynologists to promote the interest for palynology and to coordinate palynological research across Nordic countries.
From the start, the society played an important role in supporting key publications in the field, for example through the society’s journal Grana Palynologica (now GRANA) and the World Pollen and Spore Flora (WPSF).
CPS is a founding member of the IFPS – the International Federation of Palynological Societies. Our IFPS liaison officer, represents our interest in the umbrella society of all palynological societes.
Today, CPS provides a platform for exchange, collaboration, and networking among palynologists working across a wide range of disciplines. We encourage students and researchers alike to connect, contribute, and become part of this community
