The NGS roadshows are designed to give an introduction to the NGS and the services that they offer. A series of short presentations will explain how to join the NGS to gain access to the resources on offer, how to run jobs and the types of training on offer to be able to fully use the NGS. Current NGS users will also demonstrate the impact that the NGS has had on their research and how NGS resources can be used effectively within a real research environment.
This event will also combine a training event. Delegates are welcome to attend the afternoon training event as well as the morning roadshow or just the roadshow event in the morning.
