Basic discussion of assigning roles on day. Nick will check on what MIR shows.

Must note at event that current biggest problem is browsing results. MIR needs rebuilding.

Users should be given a practical? Presenting results discussed. Suggestion for demo/discussion:

1. browse results – fragmentary approach – okay for ‘doodling workflow’.

2. page/data structure built in application designed to view results (i.e: writing services). Show an example of this. Who should do this at meeting? Stef and Jan noted. Katy will provide some bioinformatic input for this.

Group use of MIR and portal needs testing prior to day. Ask Steve Pettifer to present UTOPIA. *Action NS/CAG. Ask Stef/ Jan to attend users day and present demo. Katy to provide bioinformatic input.*
