Drop-in Session

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 a virtual drop-in session so you can talk to our experts in person about anything research computing related.  The next session will be the 3 February.
