Key Objectives

• Support and Resources: Provide and promote resources and guidance to support a growing community of users and foster best practices across diverse p-XRF applications in archaeology and heritage.
• Exchange of Knowledge: Facilitate opportunities to exchange ideas and knowledge about current and emerging practices through conference sessions, workshops, training, and more.
• Sustaining the Community: Establish a self-sustaining network where specialists, laboratories, standards and reference materials (certified and in-house) can be found and put to best use by all members.
• Guidance and Innovation: Draft, discuss and disseminate agreed-upon guidance on a variety of applications (e.g., soils, metals, glass, obsidian, pigments) to define and implement best practices and drive further innovation.

Join the Global p-XRF Network!

This is an open invitation to join the newly formed Global p-XRF network. In the moment, communication takes place via an email list, which serves as the primary channel until the official network website is launched. Those interested in staying informed about the latest developments, resources, and events related to p-XRF are very welcome to join.

For any questions or ideas regarding the network, the organising team is eager to engage and collaborate with the wider community! Just get in touch via michaela.schauer@univie.ac.at.
