Consult a Digital Research Specialist
For help and advice in applying digital skills to your research
Do you need advice on a specific problem, help choosing the right tools, or guidance from someone who has tackled a similar challenge before?
Researchers from across the UK can book a one-to-one discussion with one of our Digital Research Infrastructure specialists and get practical advice tailored to their project.
Whether you’re a PhD student taking your first steps into data-intensive research, a postdoctoral researcher exploring new methods, an academic leading a project, or a research group looking for specialist advice, we’re here to help.
We also welcome professional services staff supporting researchers, as well as colleagues from industry and the public sector who want to learn more about digital tools, data management, AI, bioinformatics, and other research technologies.
Whatever your background or level of experience, our experts can help you find practical solutions and useful next steps.
It’s completely free to use too! All the cost of the service is covered by the UKRI.
