Omicron proves that the Research Center for Islamic Numismatics Tübingen (FINT) too is still challenged by the virus and not in control of the pandemic; many people in Germany are still unvaccinated, and planning (visas etc.) remains difficult. Hence, it seems more advisable and easier to hold their Tübingen ONS Meeting 2022 once more as an (online-only) virtual conference using Zoom (you simply need a webcam). Again, one full day should be sufficient for a digital meeting and this would be Saturday, 7th May 2022.
Last year, FINT’s conference programme was very internationally and diverse, composed of 12 presentations, and they reached not less than 50 participants (simultaneously). Dr. Sebastian Hanstein was very glad to receive so many positive feedback and words of thanks subsequently to that meeting in 2021, and he is already looking forward to your registrations and contributions for this year.
