As French National Committee of the INQUA, the role of the AFEQ is to inform and to promote the French persons who work for the Quaternary Review among the INQUA’s activities. The INQUA is orgarnized into five committees which subsidize projects called IFGs ( International Focus Groups). The IFG are integrating in “committee projects “, also called ” grants “. The IFGs and ” committe projects ” aim at promoting the creation of international research networks and workshops. The young researchers (Early Career Scientists, ECR) and the researchers working in developing countries (Developing-Country Scientists, DCS) invited to participate in these actions are financed in priority. A new financial support was recently created for skills improvement (” Skill enhancement “). INQUA finances the researches which are considered a priority of the different committees. We list below the responsibilities of the French “quaternarists” in five committees.

Since 2003, the AFEQ-CNF INQUA has been sponsoring the participation of MSc or PhD students and young post-doctoral researchers (members of the association), in scientific workshops or conferences dealing with climate and environment of the Quaternary.
