Aims of Meeting

The overall objective of the meeting should be seen in the context of the management plan for CCP4. It should provide a closer interaction between the Executive, Scientific Technical and Advisory Board and the staff employed on CCP4 contracts, and provide a forum for a general discussion between all CCP4 staff and associated developers. The STAB now cover all aspects of nthe activities, not only the automation developments.

The meeting is longer this year as in incorporates the STAB meeting organised by Tadeusz on the Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday morning.

The intention is to extract a set of goals and action points and to address any conflicts and weaknesses:

Overall the meeting aims to inform all participants of what the others are doing, leading to improved contacts between groups, improved team working and avoidance of duplication of effort.

 

Agenda: STAB meeting 28-29th

St William’s College, beside York Minster

Scientific and Technical Advisory Board (STAB) members: Charlie Bond, Paul Emsley, Airlie McCoy and Tadeusz Skarzynski (Chairman).
