Dear friends and colleagues,
Certain traditions are important and should be kept alive with joy and anticipation.
No, we are not talking about Christmas or anything like that…it´s the ViMi!
We are thrilled to announce that the fifth Virtual Micromorphology Meeting (ViMi5) will take place the afternoons of Wednesday and Thursday the 24th and 25th of April, 2024 (UCT+1) as a joint venture of the University of Innsbruck, the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna.
The ViMi5 workshop will have a mix of sessions: break-out rooms, live microscopy and methodological presentations. We are open to non-English sessions by/for students as well. If you are interested in chairing any of these, do not hesitate to contact us at vimi.mi...@gmail.com by 29th February, 2024.
Another tradition should be kept alive: the ViMi Student Prize for best microphotograph. The winner of this year’s contest will receive an engraved sampling knife and a print copy of a selected micromorphology handbook. If you want to participate, send your microphotographs along with a description to vimi.mi...@gmail.com.
A platform for discussion of micromorphology-related topics is available under this link (sign in to your google account and press the join button).
And if we forgot someone, or you know someone who would be interested in spending a few afternoons viewing, discussing, and sharing micromorphology, please feel free to circulate this information 😉
We look forward to seeing the community back on the screen!
All the best,
The organising team of ViMi5
Susanna Cereda, Mareike Stahlschmidt, Lyndelle Webster, Doris Jetzinger and Thomas Beard
