Research IT
Helping you achieve your research outcomes
Welcome to the latest edition of the Research IT newsletter! Available each month, the newsletter is focused on keeping University of Manchester researchers up to date with news that directly affects their research activities including new resources, training and events.
We also want to hear from you - the research community - so please send us news stories or events that are of relevance to researchers across the university or details of your research success stories!
The next edition of the newsletter will be published in January.
The next Research IT Club will be held on the 14th of Feb and will feature presentations on the latest developments from Research IT, making the most of our Data Processing Shared Facility (DPSF) and how researchers can be involved in the Research Life Cycle Programme. Have a chat with Research IT staff over a coffee and find out more about zombie chicken genes!
The next set of dates for our Drop-in sessions has now been announced. We’ve really enjoyed hearing about your great research and helping researchers from across the Faculties tackle their Research IT issues.
Research IT Hitting the Headlines with Linguasnapp
