The agenda from 7-10 July is full of interesting speakers and workshops for the Presidents and representatives of the Universities to discuss and build a common vision around the opportunities to develop collaborations for the common mission. See Agenda. In this post we will suggest different ways to keep involved in the discussions as they evolve. Our friend and collaborator Pedro Walpole (@pedrowalpole) will be participating in the meeting and he will be blogging on these days.

 
To those of you at Melbourne, Have a good and fruitful meeting!! To those of us on-line, Let’s stay tuned!! For all of us… let’s keep united in the mission!
