DAMTP Jubilee Celebration and Reunion Event
Wednesday, 23 September to Friday, 25 September 2009
2009 will be the 50th anniversary of DAMTP which was founded under the Headship of the late Professor George Batchelor in 1959.
We invite all those who have been research students, postdocs, academic staff and/or friends of the Department over the last 50 years to join us at a Celebration and Reunion Event to mark this Jubilee of DAMTP.
The Event will be held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences and will include an evening Welcome Reception on Wednesday 23rd September, a Dinner in King's College on the 24th September, and lectures on 24th and 25th by distinguished alumni and current members of the Department, all providing the opportunity to meet old friends and colleagues.
We hope that many former members of the Department, particularly former research students, will be able to attend.
Please address any questions about the Jubilee Event to Carrolle Jamieson (E-mail: jubilee@damtp.cam.ac.uk Telephone No:01223-760 533)

DAMTP Jubilee Fund
Whether or not you are able to attend the Jubilee Event, you may like to contribute to the DAMTP Jubilee Fund that we have established. The purpose of this Fund will be to provide support for research students, who will be as vital for the future success of DAMTP as they have been in the past. The collegiate University has, of course, launched its own 800th Anniversary Campaign, and if you are contributing to this Campaign then you may wish to earmark your contribution, or part of it, to the DAMTP Jubilee Fund; we hope that you will indeed wish to do so.
