User Day Programme 2021

This year on the 2nd September 2021 we organised a hybrid User Day at the University of Surrey. Users had the opportunity to present their work virtually or in person at the University. We tried to encourage people to join the event in person – numbers were limited to maintain social distancing. However, many people were still not quite ready to engage fully with an event with many people and full participation at the User Day via remote access was provided.

The Programme for the day was as follows:
