CALL FOR SUGGESTIONS: RAS SPECIALIST DISCUSSION MEETINGS 2016-17

Dear all,

Please see the message below from the RAS, calling for the next round of Specialist Discussion meetings.

We’d like to take this opportunity to encourage you to propose topics. As a starting point for ideas, there are some big projects coming up for the UKSP community in space and on the ground, as well as rich areas of science unfolding, all ripe for a discussion.

These meetings are a huge part of keeping UKSP science vital. They’re a great opportunity to get together and discuss a topic, to meet new and established people in the community, and for showing off our broad range of interests to our colleagues in the RAS.

Kind regards,
Philippa & Dave.

(Message follows)
