The Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS) was established to bring together experts in various fossil taxa and geological periods, to conduct both basic and applied research in invertebrate palaeontology and palaeobotany on an integral research platform. Over its 73-year research, NIGPAS has made a lot of milestone discoveries, such as the determination and establishment of the Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP), and the research of fossil lagerstätten Chengjiang Fauna and Wuda Tuff Flora, which both were listed in the 100 IUGS Geological Heritage Sites. The enthusiastic scientists, the abundant fossil lagerstätten, and the ideal geological sections in China all welcome scientists worldwide to tackle global geoscience challenges together. Supported by CAS, NIGPAS has a long tradition in domestic and international collaboration for research, and will continue such cooperation in further explorations.
