Informatics on the 11th December. There are also going to be talks by
Elham Kashefi and Simon Gay. DWave-Systems have recently been funded
with another $30M and are keen to link up with Scottish Scientists.
Their Business Development contact Colin Williams, did his PhD in Edinburgh.

The agenda is as follows:
