Research IT Drop-in Session – 20th May

We have moved our drop-in sessions online! 

At Research IT we know how busy researchers are, and how talking face to face can be the easiest way to communicate a problem or complex research idea. That’s why every other Wednesday in term-time we host drop-in sessions across campus so you can talk to our experts in person about anything research computing related.

Research IT May Costing Clinic – 22nd May

We have moved our costing clinics online! 

It’s really important that you include all the Research IT services you require in your research grant application AND that you talk to us before you submit your application. This allows us to plan accordingly and to make sure that the effort and support are available at the right time if your grant application is successful.   Come along on the 22nd to find out more about services and how to include them in your research grant application.
