Have you thought about how Open Research (OR) principles can improve the quality and impact of your work?  The relaunched PET ECRF have teamed up with the Library to run a catered workshop for all students and early career researchers with examples from successful ongoing projects.  Find out how to use OR to deliver effective proposals, projects and publications!

We’ll be welcoming you on Tuesday 30th May from 10 am - 12 noon in the Physics building, P/L/002.  Come and listen to senior academics, experienced Library staff and fellow ECRs.  A light networking lunch will be available from ~12 pm nearby in James College (G/N/020). Come along even if you can't make the full morning!

We are looking forward to welcoming you!
