Please find details about a change to the YNiC phone system, an upcoming summer closure, and the next scheduled induction and training sessions below.

Due to an update to phone systems throughout the science park, unfortunately YNiC can no longer be contacted using our long-standing number. You can now reach us on 01904 325940. Please update our contact details anywhere you hold them, and in particular, please update any material provided to participants.

As part of the upgrade to the science park phone system, we have new phone hardware. As these phones serve an important part of our safety procedures, we encourage all operators to familiarise themselves with the new phones.

If you are aware of any new students/staff that will require access to YNiC and/or an IT account, they must attend a YNiC user induction. Our next induction will be on Thursday the 14th of September, at 13:00.  Please ask them to contact support@ynic.york.ac.uk to sign up.

Level 0 operator training
The next L0 training session will be held on Monday the 11th of September, 13:00-15:00. Please note that users requesting Level 0 training should be a PhD, RA/Postdoc, or staff, and should already have a project proposal submitted to YNiC.  Please email support@ynic.york.ac.uk if you have any questions or wish to book on to this session. Please note that sessions are limited to 4 trainees, which will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis. Training must be booked at least a week before the session date, in order to reserve the scanner booking.
