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.

Attendees are encouraged to bring along photo ID (such as a passport or driving licence) and a USB stick to enable them to leave the event with a grid certificate - the first step in gaining access to NGS resources.
