Conferences organised

  • I was on the Organising Committee for the 精品无码国产自产 E-Learning Conference (PELeCON) hosted at 精品无码国产自产 University from 2009 to date. reaches a wide international audience of learning technologists, teachers and academics in primary to higher education.   
  • I was responsible for logistics in the European Winter Conference on Plasma Spectrochemistry, Pau, France, January 1999. Organising travel for all 精品无码国产自产 University attendees.    
  • I was joint organiser with Professor Steve Rowland for the Royal Society of Chemistry 'Top of the Bench' competition for Schools 2002. Top of the Bench is an annual chemistry competition for schools organised on behalf of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) Local Sections. The RSC Peninsula Section encompasses Devon, Cornwall, The Channel Islands and parts of Somerset and Dorset. Each Section has its own competition to select a team of school students to represent it in the finals, which were held in London at the Science Museum in South Kensington in 2003.
