Interested in what future roles in libraries, archives, and cultural heritage might look like? Join our interactive workshop for UCL200!
About this Event

As UCL celebrates 200 years, this event invites colleagues and students from the UCL cultural heritage, library, and archive communities to come together in conversation to explore roles within these evolving landscapes and help shape future practice. Through discussion, exchange and collaborative activities, this half-day workshop will focus on four topics: Collections, User Experience, Collaboration, and Technology. What skills will we need next? How are changing spaces reshaping our work? What opportunities and challenges lie ahead?

This is a chance to reflect, imagine and prepare for the future in the gorgeous setting of UCL's Grant Museum of Zoology. There will be refreshments and a chance to network!

This event is open to all UCL students and staff who are either studying or working in the cultural heritage, library and archive sectors. If you're not part of the UCL community but would like to attend this event please email [email protected] for more information.
