4. __Bio/biotech peer-group meeting:__ KL / All \\ 
 - RFI engagement

 Discussion of engagement with RFI and peer groups.  Agreed that trajectory towards an end-station CDR was reasonable, need to discuss it in terms of an agile approach or 10-year strategic plan.

 - Debrief and next steps

 Agreed that format had gone well and endorsed list of strengths and weaknesses culled from participants. \\
 Committed to 01Aug25 event at RAL; public, targeted at children.  \\
 Seek now to find a way to engage in Glasgow; perhaps Glasgow Science Centre, festival 2026.  Also possible that annual SUPA meeting could be a target.  **CW to advise**. \\
 Seek also to take show to Belfast and Swansea.  CJ notes Cardiff Science Festival.  Discussion of whom and how to target.  CJ mentions non-standard opportunities, e.g. Blue Dart music festival. Need to review science and other shows and decide which ones to target.
