IMCRC Researchers February Seminar - Summary

Thank you to everyone who attended the Seminar on Tuesday 2nd February.

The Seminar was opened by Prof Andrew Baldwin, Director of the IMCRC, who gave a thought-provoking account of the economic climate in which we work. Andrew highlighted the increasing importance of impact in research (economic, social etc) and that researchers must look at this bigger picture in their work.

Helen and Steve from the IMCRC Researchers' Committee presented results of the questionnaire. The feedback has enabled the Committee to propose a standard seminar agenda as well a calendar for future events - both of which can be viewed from the link below. Any comments are welcomed.
