Work Smarter Together 2022

Work Smarter Together 2022

 

The WST tradition

Work Smarter Together, as an expression of the great things which go on within the UCD community, is all about celebrating and supporting the collaboration and creativity that help make UCD a great place to work, to teach, to research, to study.   We offer our colleagues the opportunity to share their discoveries and experiences through a series of events and newsletters.  If there’s something you’d like to tell us about or a topic you’re interested in get in touch. We’d love to hear your thoughts.

In 2022, we are looking at the way we work now we are returning to some sembelance of normal. Colleagues are working remote, on campus and hybrid. There’s a lot going on.  We have been collecting stories about software, systems, collaboration, online communities and the stories from coming back to campus.
