TORG are pleased to announce this week's Wednesday lunchtime seminar:
" The Tyne and Wear UTMC "
By Ray King, Tyne and Wear UTMC Specialist
About the seminar:
The presentation will give a brief overview of why and how UTMC has been developed and deployed in Tyne and Wear and how it can be further enhanced in the future. The issues surrounding competing policy objectives; what is technically achievable; and that which is politically acceptable will also be examined.
