I am writing on behalf of the local organizing committee to invite you
and your postgraduate / postdoctoral colleagues to attend the 23^rd
Postgraduate Symposium of the British Chapter of the ISMRM, which will
be held in Cardiff on 11^th April.
For those who have already been to the PG-Symposium, you know what a
valuable experience this for the students and more senior
academics.First, it provides a great opportunity for students to present
their work in a relaxed and friendly setting and to receive constructive
feedback on their work. Second, it provides a great networking
opportunity for all attendees. Thirdly, it provides a very rich
‘snapshot’ of the current MR research activity in the UK.
I’ve always come away slightly humbled by the quality and breadth of
research being presented and I know that the students appreciate having
an academic representation in the audience.
This year’s event,thanks to generous support of our sponsors, is being
held in a wonderful location (The Royal Welsh College of Music and
Drama),with great catering.We’re also able to offer some substantial
prizes to students giving the best presentations at the meeting.
The aim is to carry on the usual tradition of a very lenient acceptance
rate so as to give as many students as possible a chance to present
their work either as oral, poster-pitch or traditional poster.
Please could I ask you to encourage as many of your student lab members
as possible to attend the meeting.It’s completely free to attend, but we
do need people to register in advance.Our postgrad/postdoc team, headed
by Jess Steventon and Esther Warnert, have assembled a great programme,
with scientific debates being a new feature for 2014.
Please visit our website: http://sites.cardiff.ac.uk/pgbcismrm2014 for
more information, and registration.
I’d be grateful if you could promote this within your centre and help us
to make this a real UK-wide activity.Questions / more information

…and as mentioned above, academics are absolutely more than welcome!I
promise that it will not rain!
Many thanks in advance for your help and support
