Symposium Organisers 

Federica Brandizzi, Verena Kriechbaumer, Ulla Neumann, Béatrice Satiat-Jeunemaitre, Allison Winton, Susan Anderson & Pete Nellist.

We would like to produce an e-booklet composed of A4 PDF posters from attendees and non-attendees who knew, worked with or admired Chris and his work. This will be collated into a 'story-book' and made available to attendees.

The A4 contribution may be based either on scientific collaborations with Chris and/or sharing fond memories.

Deadline for submission is Wednesday the 6^th November. Please send your A4 poster in PDF format by email to Verena Kriechbaumer.

From these submissions, a number of flash presentations may be selected for the meeting. Please indicate in your email if you would be willing to present your contribution as a flash talk.
