We invite current users and interested researchers to a meeting to discuss the use of imaging and visualisation in research across the University. The idea of this community is to share experiences and common interests and discuss ways in which we can work together to better use available resources and generate a multi-disciplinary community that can collaborate internally to then apply for research funding collectively.
We have set up a forum on Slido for ideas to make the community thrive and any questions you may have. If you are interested in the topic, we encourage you to get involved in the discussion, even if you can’t physically attend. The purpose of this is so that discussions and ideas on the way forwards are driven by the community.
Simply visit www.slido.com and type #IMAGING in the event code to join the discussion. Posts can be left anonymously or with your name.
Below is a provisional structure for the meeting. We will be flexible with this depending on how many speakers we have and the interest shown in the event.
