Training and other events in September to December 2018

The new academic year brings a busy schedule for the Metamaterials PGRs. Please find below a table of all upcoming XM² training and other events from September 2018 until early December 2018 as far as planning currently allows.

Yet to be confirmed:

• The monthly CDT group meetings are likely to commence on 31 October 2018 – we are currently coordinating the time table to avoid clashes with research group meetings.
• A few more training sessions (Magnetic Materials & Devices, Cognitive Behavioural Coaching) are yet to be confirmed by the facilitators.
• There will be 3-4 x 1h CDT administrative induction sessions for 1st years shortly after induction week (administration requirements, XM² expectations – Dr A Roeding; training – Dr I J Luxmoore) and in November (progression & monitoring – Prof C D Wright).

PGRs, please highlight any XM²-training related absence times to your supervisors. In regards to annual leave or other absence time planning: All confirmed events have been sent to the PGRs via a calendar invitation, but please ensure to check the CDT in Metamaterials outlook calendar and to liaise with your supervisors and the CDT in Metamaterials office () for approval BEFORE you make any bookings, as there might be a few more events coming up that are yet to be confirmed.

Supervisors, please be mindful of the XM² events when setting expectations on research deliverables with the PGRs.
