    Dear All,<br>
    <br>
    There is a government funded initiative to run some events to
    support Knowledge Exchange development in Scotland - see emails
    below.<br>
    <br>
    The organisers are looking for input from individuals as to what
    they would like to see in such events.<br>
    <br>
    There is a link below to a 5 minute survey where views can be easily
    input.<br>
    <br>
    Thanks<br>
    <br>
    Paul<br>

              <p class="MsoNormal">AURIL and Interface have agreed to
