Since 2006, the Master of the Scientific Instrument Makers has organised an annual SIMposium to focus on an important scientific topic of their choice and provide an opportunity for younger members to share the latest thinking in their field. To read about the history of this event please go here. This year the Master’s theme is Cutting Edge Instrumentation and he encourages all members to consider providing a poster to share the latest developments in their field.
The event is supported by the generosity of a Past Master so there is no cost but you do need to book to ensure sufficient refreshments are provided.
A programme and booking form are below. Booking will close on 2 May 2024.
