Meet your colleagues - discuss your research - interact - collaborate - participate

Friday 8th April 2011 saw the birth of a new event in the PSB Calendar. Conceived and organised by a committee of post-docs and Ph.D. students, the "PSB Get-Together" is designed to be an occasion when everyone across the PSB can meet up, discuss their work and find out more about the research that is happening on the European Photon & Neutron Science (EPN) campus. Over 130 people turned up to the first event, which took place in the corridor between the EMBL and ILL. Attendants ranged from students and support staff to technicians and group leaders. All five of the PSB partner Institutes were well-represented (EMBL, ESRF, IBS, ILL, UVHCI). Participants were able to meet colleagues, enjoy the refreshments provided by the organising committee and read and discuss posters presented by several PSB research groups:

The first Get-Together marked the beginning of an on-going series of events which held at different sites across the EPN campus throughout the year. The aim of these events is simply to provide an informal setting that promotes interaction between scientists, groups and institutes.
