Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington UK. 10th - 11th February 2010
REGISTRATION NOW CLOSED!
Introduction
For some time the UK vacuum community has called for an annual national meeting incorporating both technical and commercial elements. This NEW 1st Vacuum Symposium UK aims to address this need. The meeting will include something for everyone in our unique community including FREE training seminars for new vacuum users, technical talks for the more experienced vacuum user and a vacuum equipment exhibition for everyone. This first meeting (VS-1) will run alongside the very successful meeting series RGA9 – the 9th RGA Users Meeting. The entire programme will run over 2 days with the RGA9 programme on day 1 and the VS-1 programme on day 2. If you are a user of vacuum equipment, have an interest in vacuum science and technology or are a supplier/manufacturer of vacuum equipment – then this meeting is for you!
