TARRN Planning Meeting (Chair: Sally Shortall)
Please think about the following and come with concrete suggestions:
1. Suggestions re ideas for funding the network. This is different to funding research; it
includes funding conferences, knowledge exchanges, meetings, etc.
2. Ideas about combinations of funding (UK and US) as well as global funding
applications.
3. Future activities of the Network and who takes the lead. Here we are thinking about
publications, research themes, organising conferences, knowledge exchange seminar
series and so on that we can bill under a TARRN banner.
4. Thoughts about how we try to integrate and promote careers of more junior staff in
the Network through allocation of responsibility for various tasks, but ensuring good
quality support from the old folk.
