Attendance at meetings. A research officer will have a
standing invitation to attend your departmental meetings each Monday. You will try to arrange for RAD to attend policy meetings organised by your Department, social functions for relevant visitors, etc.
Familiarisation. All newly-arrived staff in either
Department, except secretarial and registry staff, will pay an early visit to the other.
Copying correspondence, databases etc. Your Department will ensure that all relevant correspondence is copied to RAD.
Consideration will be given to reflecting this requirement in the FJPS of your desk officers. Far Eastern Section will send your Section Heads a list of any relevant databases held by it, and will notify you of significant updates.
Seminars, university visits. Our departments will keep each other and the Policy Planning Staff informed before attending seminars, visiting universities, or meeting academic contacts in the FCO, to identify themes of special interest, and will send each other a copy of any resulting records.
(vii) Research talks. If research talks (eg with close allies)
are held affecting your area, RAD will consult you about the timing and agenda. If talks are held in London, your Department will be invited to attend. You will receive a
summary record.
