Vitae in partnership with The British Library are running Digital Researcher 2012: an innovative, thought-provoking one day event to help researchers make the most of new technologies and social media tools in their research.

Designed for both postgraduate researchers and research staff within any UK institution, this interactive event will be held at the British Library on Monday 20th February 2012, and will provide an opportunity for researchers to think about how they undertake research and to consider whether new technologies could improve their research.

The day will include discussion of a range of new technologies and tools (microblogging, RSS feeds, social networking and social citation sharing) but the focus will be on how these can be used to enhance research.

The Vitae Digital Researcher series of events have previously had a high volume of demand. We therefore advise those who are interested in joining us for the event to book asap to secure your place. To book your place, please take just a few minutes to fill out our short online booking form. 

The registration opens at 9:15 am. The plenary starts at 10 am sharp. The course finishes at 4:45 pm but allow some time for networking after the event. 

The event is free for all UK-based researchers and open to postgraduate researchers and research staff.
