We would like to thank the 4100 attendees of the 23rd Goldschmidt conference. We hope everyone had a successful week and an enjoyable time in the beautiful city of Florence. EAG leads the organization of the European Goldschmidt conferences to support the geochemical community and promote its recognition by a wider audience. A detailed report of the conference will be available later. In the meantime, we invite you to help us improve Goldschmidt conferences by sending your feedback in the 10 Question Delegates Survey.
Goldschmidt2014 (8-13 June), led by the Geochemical Society, promises to be another exciting meeting and we hope you will be able to join us in California next year.
We are happy to inform you that the video recordings of the Goldschmidt2013 plenaries are available at www.youtube.com/goldschmidtconf.
Also, the photos from the conference as well as of past Goldschmidt meetings are now at photos.goldschmidt.info/.
We are extrememy grateful to our team of bloggers at Goldschmidt2013: Andy Bray, Matt Herod, Betsy Swanner, Emma Versteegh and Simon Redfern have shared their impressions of the conference in 16 posts on the EAG Blog! So if you missed the conference or if you just curious to read their stories, you can find them at blog.eag.eu.com/category/goldschmidt2013/.
We are always looking for more motivated bloggers so should you be interested in sharing your geochemistry related stories on the EAG Blog, just contact the EAG Office.
If you participated in the blind wine tasting event on the last day of the conference at the EAG and Geochemical Society booths, you may be curious to know that the Californian wines received slightly more votes than the Italian wines (all the details can be found here). In the same spirit, next year's beer contest (California vs. Czech Pilsner) will pass on the torch to Goldschmidt2015 but we might need bigger glasses then...
