Invitation to the Soft Launch of the TDC - Tuesday 13 December 2011 from 11am-1pm

All DMU staff are cordially invited to the Soft Launch of the DMU Transdisciplinary Common Room (TDC)
Date: 11am-1pm Tuesday 13 December 2011
Location: The TDC is in the former GP surgery in Fletcher Quad.

The Transdisciplinary Common Room is a work-in-progress which aims to provide a relaxed and congenial space for transdisciplinary conversations. We are working together to transform it from a rather battered doctors’ surgery to a comfortable and inspirational environment where creativity and innovation will thrive. It’s up to us to shape it the way we want. Or, as in the immortal words of Howard Rheingold: ‘what it is >>> is up to us’.

Join us for sherry and mince pies to find out more about what the TDC can do for you and, of equal importance, what you can contribute to make it a success.

If you can’t make it on the day but would like more details, you can:

• add the TDC to your staff card
• join the email list
• contact one of the individuals listed below.
