Drop-in Session

Please note that this event is NOW ONLINE due to University Closure.

Use the event link to access the Zoom session. You can do so using a browser or via the optional downloadable client.

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 across campus so you can talk to our experts in person about anything research computing related.

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

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