Activities

Our first meeting was a break-out session of the Imaging Facility Manager Meeting 2010 in Imperial College London (7-8 Jan 2010). We tried to identify systemic problems with the current funding system (predictable shortfalls, reviewing systems) and come up with ideas how the system could be improved. We also found that an inventory of existing equipment, know-how and support staff would be helpful for coordination and planning.

A summary of our discussions is available on the Meeting Website.

*Please note a time change for this meeting* We will be holding an informal discussion meeting to formalise the working document at 5pm on Friday 12th December at Cancer Research UK London Research Institute, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, WC2A 3PX. Please contact Lucy Collinson at lucy.collinson@cancer.org.uk if you would like to attend.
