This is your chance to learn about our most ambitious plan yet and discover how you can contribute to enhancing the working conditions for technical professionals across the institution and beyond.

The event is open to all technical professionals working at the University, that is any individual on a non-academic contract, trained and skilled in the techniques, tools, and technology of their subject, providing hands-on support in teaching, learning, research, and enterprise activities. This includes lab technicians, computing officers, librarians, building managers, and many others. If you're unsure about your eligibility, please get in touch at [email protected].

The free event starts at 2pm. The presentation and quiz will run until 4pm, followed by optional networking until 5pm. Refreshments will be served: two drinks per person and light bites. Quiz teams of four are required, but individual participants are welcome and will be assigned to a team. Bonus points will be given for interdisciplinary teams.

There is limited capacity at the venue, so register as soon as possible to secure your spot.
