- Detect the existence of Global Events in selected Palaeozoic sections from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Mongolia, Siberia, Uzbekistan, Morocco, China and USA.
- Detect the existence of Global Bioevents in different groups of macro- and microfossils, mainly in trilobites, brachiopods, conodonts, fish, ostracods and plants (macrofossils and spores).
- To make high-resolution correlations between the biostratigraphic scales provided by the aforementioned fossil groups.
- Identify the limits of the Cambrian and Devonian Series and their Floors in the selected sections and refine their study according to the agreements and criteria of the International Commission on Stratigraphy and the two corresponding subcommissions (Cambrian and Devonian).
- To compare the data obtained in Spain with those of the other regions mentioned above.
- To elaborate a standard reference scale for the Cambrian and Devonian of Spain to serve as a world reference.
- To date neritic and pelagic successions in order to refine and intercalibrate regional biostratigraphic scales.
- Coordinate with other national and, mainly, international groups to carry out interdisciplinary studies, mainly geochemical, geophysical and cyclo-stratigraphic studies that integrate and complement the biostratigraphic ones.
