A new academic term begins...
The EPS team arrived back in the lab today, and our immediate priority was to finalise the project poster, which will be due tomorrow. The project poster summarises everything the we have achieved so far this year, and all that we hope to achieve before June. Initial feedback has suggested a well designed poster that clearly illustrates a variety of technical work, along with appropriate credit to all of our sponsors.
The project poster for this year may be viewed online in pdf format here: http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/eng/meng/esmo/news/posters/
