In-person Drop-in 17 Dec 2024

If you have any problems related to the following areas, we should be able to help:

• Choosing the right software, hardware and services,
• Research programming,
• Task automation and scripting,
• High performance computing,
• Data science,
• Storing large datasets,
• Research Data Storage (RDS) service induction,
• Handling sensitive data,
• Research data management (including writing data management plans).

You can choose between in-person and online drop in sessions.

If the problem is likely to need a lengthy discussion (half an hour or more) or requires very specific knowledge (e.g. of an unusual programming language) it would be very helpful if you could email a short summary of your problem to arc@ucl.ac.uk at least 2 days before the session you would like to attend - we can then try to make sure a member of staff with appropriate expertise is available.

If you're looking for support with computer programming you can also find help via the UCL Research Programming Hub: a UCL wide network for people who are interested in programming. The Programming Hub Slack workspace is open to anyone with an @ucl.ac.uk email address and features a #helpme channel where you can post your questions to the community. Slack's guide for new users provides a quick introduction if you're new to the platform.
