Kick Off Meeting 21st & 22nd January 2003

A 'Kick Off" Meeting was held on Tuesday & Wednesday 21st and 22nd January 2003 at Scarman House, Warwick University Conference Centre.

Meeting Objectives:

The 'kick-off' meeting is an opportunity for RAPID researchers to meet each other and the RAPID Steering Committee, and to exchange ideas and information. The objectives of the meeting are:

  • To allow researchers to meet and exchange information on their projects
  • To contribute to the development of the thematic nature of the RAPID programme
  • To encourage the development of a UK RAPID community
  • To further develop international collaboration

Details of the meeting are below, including links to the presentations given at the meeting:
