Some of the MEPA faculty from the UK (Ralph Mackinnon, Lisa Daniels, Matt Taylor) and Canada (Toby Everett, Elaine Ng) held the first MEPA skype conference tonight (Nov 1st 2010, 10 pm UK time).
Issues discussed included the issue of copyrighting the intellectual property which makes up MEPA, the expansion of the MEPA program into North America and the importance of potential new centres signing up to the MEPA charter. Requests: More Bio-profiles for Faculty members and more site info to be added to the mepa website please. Maps of MEPA centres to be added also.
The MEPA mission statement and charter can now be found on the site.
A lot was achieved in a relatively short space of time.
INVITATION: Let’s hold these skype conferences monthly – all interested faculty members very welcome!
