As part of our Research England funded Research Culture project to help create a community amongst RTProfs at the University of Warwick, we invite RTProfs to an away day at SLS Warwick Crop Centre, The Innovation Campus (previously Wellesbourne Campus) on the 12^th June 2024.

For clarity, RTProfs are defined by UKRI as the following:

Research technicians and technology and skills specialists who have expert knowledge and technical competence in their field. They may include - but not limited to - data scientists, data engineers, archivists, informaticians, statisticians, software developers, audio-visual technologists, technical professional staff and individuals staffing and managing core research facilities, across all disciplines.

There will the opportunity to take part in Lego® Serious Play®, learn more about the Higher Education Academy and tour the beautiful Warwick Crop Centre footprint at The Innovation campus. We might even get to taste some of Eric Holub’s beans - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-coventry-warwickshire-66752305).
