- Several sessions have been submitted
Autumn MIST feedback
- Detailed summary of feedback has been compiled by Jasmine
- People commented that abstracts were accepted too late; not enough time before the meeting
- We could reduce the chance of this next year by:
- Giving the Autumn MIST organiser more autonomy over the process
- Could also have an earlier abstract deadline
- It was suggested that we could move to IOP at King's Cross
- Comments on the theme:
- Less focus on students/postdocs
- Discourages people for whom theme is not relevant?
- Ian asked Geolsoc for the last Friday in November
- It's booked that day, so we got 22 November 2019 instead
- If we move forward with this we would need to publicise this widely and in advance
- Ian did get a booking for last Friday in November 2020
- Oliver is writing the article for A&G, the deadline is February 2019
MIST at RASreach
- Sheila Kanani offered to let us share with RASreach, which is to be held in Newcastle in 2019
- John plans to submit a parallel session to NAM so it's possible that two events in one year is overkill
- Council says that NAM is the obvious choice
- [redacted]
MIST website

- Oliver to investigate options for putting seminar speaker list into Google Sheets
