UKFN weekly round-up 11/5/18

If you would like to circulate a brief message to the UKFN mailing list ahead of the monthly newsletter, you can send it to info@fluids.ac.uk by Friday noon of each week and it will be circulated in the weekly round-up later that day. All messages that are still time-relevant will be repeated in the monthly newsletter.


A. UKFN MESSAGES

From: Nick Daish, 11/5/18
Subject: Requesting your consent for GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)

PLEASE NOTE: To conform with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which takes effect on 25 May, we are required to obtain consent from everyone who has registered with UKFN, i.e. submitted personal details, in order to use their data.

We will therefore be circulating an email within the next week asking you whether you wish to opt in or out. We will make every effort to keep this as simple as possible.

Without this consent the Directory page and SIG member lists will be empty, so please take a moment to respond (positively!) when the time comes and keep the UK Fluids Network visible and connected!

Thank you.
