Join the Research IT Club!

We are launching a new bimonthly club which aims to keep researchers at the University of Manchester up to date with the activities of Research IT. This will be our opportunity to share with you announcements of new services and training opportunities and give you the opportunity to feedback to us. The club will also provide a platform for researchers to share their knowledge and best practice in research IT with others from across the university and to promote cross-collaboration between research groups.

The first meeting of the club will take place 2pm - 3.30pm on 23^rd Nov in Lecture Theatre C, Simon Building.
