Research School of Physical Sciences and Engineering

Annual Report 2000

IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE
This year we have again decided to publish the electronic version of the annual report in portable document format (pdf) as this preserves the formatting of the document, makes cutting and pasting much easier whilst retaining bolding etc. and enables users to print out and read the report much more easily. Some browsers will read this format automatically, on older ones simply down load the document to your drive and read it with Acrobat reader. If you don't have a copy of acrobat reader, click here to get a free on line copy from Adobe.
