Are you interested in connecting with other digital Research Technical Professionals (dRTPs) at UoM? Do you want to hear about dRTP roles and career development at UoM? Would you like to discuss and strategise how UoM can better support dRTP roles (including Research Software Engineers, Data Stewards, Data Engineers, Platforms Engineers)?
Come to this in-person workshop for UoM dRTPs on 16th January 2026!
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.
