Facility Manager Meeting 2010

Following up the successful meetings in York (2008) and Manchester (2009), the next Microscopy Facility Manager Meeting will be in London, at Imperial College, in January 2010.

The detailed topics still need to be decided, so please take part in the polls below and send your proposals to Martin Spitaler, m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk .

REGISTRATION

To help with catering, booking and sponsorship, please registeras soon as possible! Registration is free.

Date, time and location

The 'Doodle Poll - meeting dates' showed that many people can only do the first week of January, so the definitive date will now be Thursday 7 (lunch time) to Friday 8 January 2010 (lunch time).

The meeting will be held in the South Kensington campus of Imperial College London, 5th floor of the Sherfield Building / room SALC 5 (see GoogleMap for details). Walk into the campus from Exhibition Road, just around the corner from the Science Museum, and walk around the Queen's Lawn (with the big tower) in the middle of the campus.

This is ~30 min by public transport from Euston and Kings Cross railway stations, 10 min from Victoria station, or a 25 min walk across Hyde Park from Paddington (slightly longer on the Circle Line). For time tables and other stations, see Transport for London (TfL) Journey Planner.

Accomodation in walking distance from the meeting location can be booked at discounted rates (starting from £69) through the Imperial College Hotel Accomodation website. Many affordable hotels can also be found on South Kensington Hotels, many of them actually cheaper than through the Imperial College website and also in walking distance, but you need to check distance (e.g. TfL) and quality (e.g. Tripadvisor) yourself.
