About the event:

This showcase event will demonstrate the breadth and depth of technical contribution that our technical staff make to UCL research, teaching, and innovation. It will also show that technical careers are rewarding and recognised by UCL.

The event will be opened by UCL President and Provost Dr Michael Spence and includes exhibition stands in the Cloisters as well as a series of talks taking place throughout the day in the Jeremy Bentham Room. The exhibition will be set up in the Cloisters from 11am - 4pm and we encourage all staff to come and have a look at the brilliant demonstrations our Technical community are putting on.
