On June 15th 2006, Ultralab convened the second Owers Lecture and invited Dr Ian Gibson MP to present on the themes and issues raised by Stan. This successful event underlined the importance of Stan's work as a national issue and demonstrated the impact it has on the research into learning and technology at Ultralab.
