IBS Region Event
Tuesday, December 2, 2025, 13:15 - 17:00 BST
The British and Irish Region would like to invite BIR members (and friends and colleagues!) to an afternoon celebrating young Biometricians, including a plenary presentation by the 2025 winner of the Young Biometrician Award.
This afternoon event will be preceded by the 2025 Region AGM, on 2nd December 2025, at the Waterloo campus, King's College London.
The Region's AGM (13:15 to 13:45) has free registration, but a small fee will be payable to sign up the scientific meeting (14:00 to 17:00).
You can register on the Eventbrite page for the meeting:

If you only wish to attend the AGM (and not the scientific meeting), then you can register on Eventbrite for free.
