I have tentatively arranged the meeting for Friday March 2nd. This fits in
both with the availability of the RSS and of Dr Alasdair Rose, who is the
EPSRC Mathematics Programme director.
As we are all only too much aware, change continues unabated in the EPSRC's
interpretation of its role. An article by Peter Green about a meeting in
December between the EPSRC and the Council for Mathematical Sciences will
appear in the February 2001 RSS News. This will provide useful background
for our discussions with Dr Rose.
I hope Friday will be popular with some people. Whenever I have sounded
opinion, there has been a strong minority in favour of Friday. So, after two
Wednesday meetings, we have one on Friday.
Please make sure that everyone in your department who should be on the list
received this. If not, let me know.
Thanks,
Anthony
