Many thanks to all those who made the session we had at the UCEA Convention in New Orleans such a success. A particular thanks to Charlie Slater, Paula Cordeiro and Philip Woods for their contributions as panellists at the session.  The aim was to move forward our thinking for the project, and many of the excellent ideas raised have helped us refine project details.

At the session we were able to report that both UCEA and BELMAS have formally endorsed the project and we anticipate a formal launch in mid November.  A call for ‘Expressions of Interest’ is currently being finalised and this will be issued shortly. Once issued we encourage colleagues to consider becoming involved, and/or to pass details to anyone who may be  interested in potentiallyparticipating.
