About the event

UoM Digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTP) Workshop
This is a workshop to connect dRTPs at UoM, showcase dRTP careers, and workshop things important to the UoM dRTP community.

About this Event

This is a workshop to bring together digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTP) at the University of Manchester. We're bringing everyone together to hear about the variety of dRTP roles at UoM and the work being done to professionalise these careers internally and externally. The second half of the day we will connect and workshop together to better organise and define the dRTP community's needs at UoM.

Post-workshop we will produce a report to send to senior leaders at UoM to highlight the dRTP community's professional needs at UoM.


If you're a dRTP at the University of Manchester, please join us!


This is an in-person only event.

Venue: Blended Lecture Theatre 1 (GA.056), Nancy Rothwell Building, The University of Manchester.
