2014 will see a new and exciting development in the Events’ calendar when we launch Topic Meetings; these will be held in addition to our flagship Main Meeting.
The inaugural Topic Meeting will be held in September 2014 and will be in the topic area of obesity. Such Topic Meetings will have a broad appeal and the intention is that these 2-3 day meetings will attract attendees from all of our theme areas. The structure of these meetings will be based on the highly successful Biomedical Basis of Elite Performance Meeting held in March 2012 and will incorporate outreach and education activities together with coordination of publications in our journals. From 2015 onwards we intend to hold Topic Meetings in the spring and autumn of each year.
Planned future Topic Meetings include one on ageing/degeneration and another on imaging. In addition, we will also shortly be announcing a call for smaller meetings where Members may like to use our excellent facilities at The Society’s new premises at Hodgkin Huxley House in Farringdon.
