STEP-UP Westminster dRTP event 2025

Date: Monday 12 May 2025, 13:00-16:00 BST

As research is becoming increasingly computational and the demand for dRTPs is growing rapidly, we see different models emerging for where these technical professionals are based. When is it better for dRTPs to be embedded in research groups vs in central teams? Join us to explore how different universities in London organise their software, data and computing infrastructure professionals. What factors lie behind embedding this expertise within discipline-specific teams, or within central teams? What are the pros and cons of each system? This event is organised by the STEP-UP project and is hosted by the University of Westminster.
