The MicroField team recently gathered at a partner research facility for a two-day working meeting. Across the two days, participants worked through the progress of the various technical work packages in detail and addressed the management matters that keep a multi-strand programme on track. Holding the sessions on site made it straightforward to move between discussion and demonstration as questions arose.

The meeting closed with a guided tour of the host's advanced research laboratories, which gave the team a first-hand look at the equipment and methods behind several of the techniques under discussion.

Further detail on our technical advances will appear in the next newsletter, and we encourage readers to follow the website and our social-media channels for the latest updates.
