Regrettably, this event has been cancelled as so few people signed up to attend.  I have had suggestions of alternative topics and formats so I expect to arrange a different, and hopefully more attractive, version of this event in the near future.

Leslie Fletcher 10 April 2014

The meeting is at Manchester University; this is the programme and provisional timings:

• 1.30pm                   Meet in Room G.205 in the Alan Turing Building
• 1.30pm – 1.40pm   Welcome and housekeeping
• 1.40pm – 2.30pm   Five(ish!) minutes for individual participants on the pleasures and pains of mathematics and statistics support in their institution – I am happy to start this.
• 2.30pm – 3.00pm   Mark Brown and Paul Gray, Department of Sociology, MMU on the Q-Step project
• 3.00pm – 3.15pm   Tea, coffee, biscuits
• 3.15pm – 4.30pm   Visit to the Alan Gilbert Learning Commons,  “a state of the art study and learning centre”.  I wanted to go back to being an undergraduate at Manchester University when I visited!

I hope you will find this useful and interesting; I anticipate that this afternoon will help me plan future sigma activities in this region which meet the needs of staff working in maths and stats support.  Feel free to pass on details of this event to any colleagues who might be interested.

If you are planning to attend please complete the form below (shamelessly copied from the South West and South Wales hub!) which will be emailed back to me automatically.

Colin Steele colin.steele@manchester.ac.uk is able to provide information about the local geography and facilities at Manchester University.
