FEAST email news — February 2006

Contents

FEAST website

The major update to the FEAST website over the past month has been the addition of a functional helpdesk system, including FAQs and discussion groups. Registered members are able to participate in online discussions and the sharing of information.

We have also begun work on creating German-Australian and UK-Australian researcher networks. We encourage members wishing to be a part of either of these networks to register their interest by updating their profiles in the members section of the website. We will be organising events later in the year specifically for members of these networks.
Separate emails will be sent out, with further details of these networks, to FEAST members with links to these countries.

European Researchers Night   Thursday 23rd February, 6–9pm

FEAST will host Australia’s first “European Researchers Night” to celebrate the achievements and linkages between Australians and European individuals, groups, and organizations.

The evening will provide the opportunity to see the outstanding British Council photographic exhibition documenting the impacts of climate change, entitled “North – South – East – West”, and to hear Prof. Mike Gore (foundation director of Questacon) from the Centre for the Public Awareness of Science deliver “A Little Cocktail of Science”, an inspiring and amusing exploration of our domain.

The event will be held at the National Europe Centre at the ANU. Food and drink provided.

RSVP: info@feast.org by Friday 17th February.
