INAUGURAL MEETING 27/28 March 2006 | Angionet home page

The inaugural ANGIONET meeting will be in Nottingham on Monday 27 and Tuesday 28 March 2006. The meeting will broadly reflect the interests of the network members (drawn from Biology, Medicine, Engineering, Maths, Physics, Chemistry, Computer Science,...), with plenary speakers, speakers drawn from the Network membership, and feedback from projects funded by the EPSRC Angiogenesis sandpit (see EPSRC Connect issue 21, page 5).

All talks will be held in the Pope Building, room C15.
Refreshments and lunch will be served in the Orangery in the Pope building.
Dinner, bed and breakfast will be provided in the Rutland Hall of Residence.
