We hope to do this by inviting the new and long-standing users of UniShare to discuss the system and its uses and the opportunities it provides. It’s a space to ask questions and generate ideas over a cup of tea or coffee.
Anyone who uses UniShare as part of their day to day work is invited to take part in this two hour session, where the tea, coffee and conversations will flow!
Sign up now. We look forward to seeing you there!
