Bruce Robinson remembers the very earliest mention of an iMig:
“Marie-Claude and I were having a morning coffee in a cafe in Montparnasse. [I had been visiting Paris to give a talk or something] and we discussed the lack of mesothelioma reagents [cell lines etc], the lack of international cooperation and the absence of a forum to share ideas. Hence IMIG was born. We both agreed that we didn’t want an ‘organisation’, but a loose interactive group without much formality, which is why the term ‘interest group’ was used.”
