Meetings
From time to time the BSEM arranges scientific meetings at which leading practitioners or researchers present work from their respective fields of specialty.
These meetings provide an invaluable opportunity for both existing and prospective members of the Society to further their knowledge in these areas and to participate in discussions around the issues raised in the meetings.
