The Software Sustainability Institute is delighted to present the workshop "Data Visualisation in Python"

RSC: Digital Skills for Research Technical Staff

Over the course of these two weeks, we will delve into the role of technical staff at UK universities, career pathways, and recognition of technical staff contributions to research.
