Agenda
12-1pm – Arrival, registration and lunch
What better way to start a conference than with food?
Pick up your name badge, say hello to colleagues, and fuel up for an afternoon of ideas and inspiration.
1 - 2.30pm – The DRI Context, Alan Real and Martin Callaghan
We all enjoy looking at a beautiful landscape, but do we know what the important features are that we’re looking at?
In the first session of the retreat, we'll consider who we mean by DRI professionals, the challenges of communicating across research domains and ask ‘why should researchers make time for you?’

5 - 6pm – The DRI Landscape, Alan Real and Marion Weinzierl
When projects and challenges mount up, it can feel like you’re facing an academic mountain alone.
Across the UK there are a range of facilities and services that exist to support research. The session will explain what’s available, the motivations for their creation and answer the key question, how do you access them?
