RMS – SETTING THE STAGE FOR 2008

2008 promises to be a significant year for the Royal Microscopical Society (RMS). Numerous RMS meetings, courses and conferences will attract speakers of the highest quality and delegates active in all areas of science and industry. “2008 is a MICROSCIENCE year,” said Rob Flavin, Executive Director of the RMS. “MICROSCIENCE is our flagship biennial international conference and exhibition on the science of microscopy, imaging and analysis to be held at London’s ExCeL from 23-26th June. We also have a very full programme of further courses and meetings which all provide excellent educational opportunities to keep upto- date with the very latest developments in microscopy and imaging.” In addition to being kept busy organising numerous meetings this year, the RMS will also be busy financially supporting many microscopy focused projects. This includes the creation of new opportunities for funding, such as the newly introduced Vice-President’s Fund.
