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.
Any feedback is very welcome, please send it to Martin Spitaler (m.spitaler@imperial.ac.uk ).
Date & Time
The exact dates still need to be decided by YOU, please go to the 'Doodle Poll - meeting dates' to select your preferred date. Most people seemed to like a date early in January as last year, before facilities get too busy, so I have added Thu 7/ Fri 8 Jan, as well as the following week, to the dates, let me know if other dates would be better and I'll add them to the list.
Programme
Format and topics are flexible and open to discussion, but from first feedback it seems that many people like the idea of using the occasion to meet in the BioimagingUK working groups. Many of them overlap with topics of previous years, so this would also be a good chance for an update or discussions in smaller, dedicated groups. To explore your interests, I have started setting up a preliminary list topics from email replies and working groups most obviously linked to facilities 'Doodle Poll - proposed topics' - again, please let me know if you want me to add anything. I propose you tick all proposed topics you are interested in, not just the working groups you are participating in, so we see what's interesting to most people and how best to organise the meeting.
Schedule draft
=> This is a first draft, any feedback more than welcome!!
Last year's format (two half days with overnight stay) seemed to be popular, because it allows for plenty of informal interaction, but please pick your preferred format on the 'Doodle Poll - meeting format'.
- Introduction and recent developments
- ...other / new topics?... invited speaker...??
- Update Eurobioimaging
- Update BioimagingUK
- Report from participants of Eurobioimaging working groups / UK group leaders
- Break-out meetings 1 - BioimagingUK working groups (and other dedicated groups?)

- ...other / new topics?... invited speaker...??

Two break-out groups instead of one would allow to get involved in more than one topic, any good?
