Feedback
Feedback from past events

“I thought the event was great - and I've heard very positive feedback from other members of staff”.
“Superb event. Well organised, good range of speakers and excellent networking opportunity”.
“Well-organised, interesting and relevant, I felt it provided a great networking opportunity and helped foster the feeling that we belong to one unified team - across several disciplines and colleges - often with transferable technical skills and working now towards common goals and standards”.
Comments from our 2017 conference:
"The networking was fantastic. I really enjoyed meeting technicians from other universities and talking to the suppliers. It was also good to catch up with our technical team".
"The presence of various organisations that help your career develop and work towards professional registration (HEATED, IST, Science Council etc.)".
"I found the Workshops really useful - learning new information on equipment and how to continue my professional development".
"It was an amazing day. There was a real buzz in the air. We networked with technical services colleagues from Exeter, Cardiff, Bristol, Nottingham, Plymouth, Reading and Belfast enabling us to make new connections and share experiences. The sessions were almost all fully booked and the speakers were really engaging".
"I found it informative and a good opportunity to meet colleagues and find out what's going on at ground level".

TSC2017 Pre-Conference Delegates Brochure
Competition
The theme for this year’s Technical Services Poster Competition is ‘Technicians Make it Happen’
Taking inspiration from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation ‘Technicians Make It Happen’ campaign which aims to raise awareness of the role of technicians and technical careers, the TSC2017 award for the “Technicians Make it Happen” poster will recognise the most interesting poster that captures the spirit of the TMiH campaign.
We would like your posters to be an insight as to how your work impacts on the teams or colleges you work in. Your poster can showcase any aspects of what you or your technical team do that keeps the cogs of teaching and research turning. This can be anything from the nuts and bolts daily tasks that so often go unseen but without which things would grind to a halt to more complex research and engineering tasks. We would like activities depicted to be technical team based jobs rather than an overview of an academic field of work or research project, unless of course the project is entirely carried out by technical services staff.
We would also like your posters to include an original motivational quote or statement so get your thinking caps on!
Eligibility
- There is no requirement that the individual, or team, are from the University of Exeter.
- This award is open to individuals, and teams, within the University technical community or professional organisation, and who will be in attendance at the TSC2017 event.

Poster

- Posters should include an original inspirational quote aligned to one of our University values.
- Posters must be in either JPG, or PDF files.
- Posters must be no larger than A1 size.
- Posters can be sent to the university print unit quoting TSC2017 along with your name
- Once printed posters can be collected in person from the print unit and brought to the Technical Services Conference or you can request that posters are sent from the print unit directly to Kirstie Parnell at the address below.
