The CeMEB Assemblies are an important part of the strategy for promoting discussions and development of the research within the centre. Taking place twice every year, the programme always includes oral presentations of results, but also plenty of time for discussions and informal chatting. New research collaborations are often formed during these meetings. To stimulate the discussions recognised colleagues from national and international institutions are invited.
