UCL Technical Staff Showcase 2024

About the event:

The 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 Vice president Operations, Aimie Chapple at 10am.

The event includes exhibition stands in the Cloisters, JBR room and Haldane room as well as a series of talks taking place throughout the day in the Gustave Tuck Lecture theatre.

The exhibition will be set up from 11am - 3pm and we encourage all staff to come and have a look at the brilliant demonstrations our Technical community are putting on.
