Dear All
You are warmly invited to Cambridge on 27 October to join an Open Technology Workshop and (optionally!) exhibit open hardware for science at the Biomaker Fayre. Unfortunately we have no funding for travel grants but we may be able to find you a local host so get in touch if that would be helpful.
The event is free and the link to sign up and register your projects is below.
