Calling all digital Research Technical Professionals at the University of Manchester
The workshop aims to bring together dRTP at UoM to hear about the variety of dRTP roles 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.
