FOm/f Symposium

FOM was pleased to invite all women who are doing research in physics to attend the FOm/f Symposium, held on Friday 16 April 2010. FOM organised their bi-annual symposium in the context of the FOm/f Programme, which aims to encourage more women physicists to remain in the scientific community. The symposium is intended for researchers from universities, research institutions and industry.

Registration
As our address book is by no means exhaustive, we would be grateful if you would inform other women researchers in physics about the symposium.
