About this event
The EARC Technicians’ Network Symposium, is a launch event to officially bring together technical staff across all three institutions. It is our aim to build and create a supportive cross-institutional community by technicians for technicians. It is an opportunity to share best practice, create continued professional development and knowledge exchange opportunities, and develop strong and robust avenues of communication across the universities to ensure that all technicians have the opportunity to be involved in the network. Find out more about Eastern ARC and the Technicians’ Network here: https://easternarc.ac.uk/technicians-network/
We have set up a dedicated Technicians’ Network mailing list for you to subscribe to so that you can communicate with members of the network across the three universities to share best practice, continue collaborations and keep up to date with EARC Technicians’ Network news and events.
