Fwd[2]: FW: ViMi5 - Third Circular
Maria Bronnikova
Dear all,
It is still possible to register for Virtual Micromorphology (ViMi)! This is the 5th ViMi, and the previous four were truly valuable and exciting. It is especially fruitful for those who deal with micromorphology in archaeological contexts.
Best regards,

Dear friends and colleagues,
It is almost time for our Virtual Archaeological Soil Micromorphology Meeting (ViMi5)!
ViMi 5 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.
You can still register - simply follow this Zoom link and fill out the form. You will be asked to add information about your interests and what kind of data you could/would like to share at the meeting, but you can also just listen in. We do not accept any more session proposals at this point. Session chairs: please also remember to register, so you receive the meeting link!
ViMi5 will have a mix of sessions running: break-out rooms, live microscopy and methodological presentations and we would like to share some guidelines for each session type, but please always follow the lead of the chair/presenter and be respectful.
Break-out rooms: The session type will be run by one or more chairs who will lead the discussion. Everyone is invited to share material, but please prepare your material in advance including the context of your study site. Raise your virtual hand if you want to share material or write in the chat and wait until the chair calls you up.
Live microscopy session: The presenter will prepare a short introduction to their study site, then show their thin sections live through a microscope camera. If you have any questions or want to see something in more detail, raise your hand to speak or write in the chat.
Methodological presentations: The presenter will give a presentation on a method in their chosen medium. Questions are welcome, raise your hand to speak or write in the chat.
A big thank you to everybody running a session!!!
ViMi5 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 (Nicosia & Stoops 2017, Stoops 2020 or Karkanas & Goldberg 2019) sponsored by the HEAS research network of the University of Vienna. If you want to participate, send your microphotographs along with a description by the 23rd of April to vimi.mi...@gmail.com.
A platform for discussion of micromorphology-related topics is available under this link (press the join button).
If you have any information about upcoming workshops, summer schools or conferences relevant to soil micromorphology that you wish to share at the workshop, don’t hesitate to contact us. We are happy to announce this information or give you the floor to share it during ViMi.
