A happy New Year and welcome to 2010

2009 proved to be another stimulating and productive year for the IMCRC. As a member of this community your work contributes crucially to our range of high calibre research projects, producing new knowledge, encouraging scientific advancement, influencing industry practice and benefiting society. We are confident our reputation both in the UK and internationally, will be further enhanced
in 2010.

In 2009 the Centre initiated a forum for its researchers to share knowledge, experiences and ideas. We look to build upon this in 2010 and seek your continued support and contribution. To ensure that our meetings focus on the topics that are of interest to you, we need your feedback, hence our request for you to complete the researchers questionnaire.

We wish you every success for the coming year and look forward to hearing about your research findings.
