Date and Venue

The 4th Facility Manager Meeting meeting took place on Thursday 6th and Friday 7th of January 2011, and was held in the Centre for Integrative Physiology at the University of Edinburgh. The event attracted 45 registered delegates from academia as well as commercial suppliers.


Background

The annual Facility Manager Meeting provides a platform to discuss strategies and activities of the imaging manager community in the UK and is open to all interested research and support staff. The programme of this year's meeting included general discussions and updates as well as focus groups working on high-priority topics (see below). Delegates from system manufacturers and developers were also present at this meeting and this provided a versatile interface between industry and academia involved in the implementation of imaging technology. All participants are thankful for the funding provided by the commercial delegates, which helped to make this meeting a great success.


Working group reports

The reports of the focus groups that worked in different break-out sessions are linked into the programme below and the missing ones will be appearing in due course, please revisit.
