Drop-in Session - 08/05/2024

Please note that this event is NOW 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.

  • Programming/Coding
  • Specialist areas such as mobile development, visualization and VR/AR

However, we are unable to help with email, VPN or MS-Office issues etc.
