Cosener’s House meeting
The emphasis is on discussions. Short (visionary, thought provoking) talks will set the scene and will be followed by longer and lively discussions. In order to facilitate open discussion, the presentations will not be posted on the webpage. The times below refer to the length of the presentations, not the time dedicated to the topics.
