Hello, 

Please see details below regarding upcoming inductions, training sessions and our YNiC Social event next week.

YNiC User Inductions
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 Tuesday the 3rd of December, at 10:00am. 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 Wednesday the 4th of December, 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.

No COGS this week
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have to postpone our COGS session this week. We will rearrange for the new year!

YNiC Social: 11th December at 11am
During the last week of the semester, we will be holding a small YNiC social event. It would be wonderful to see the many researchers who have been using the centre this Semester. Please join us for a mince-pie and some light-hearted fun, festive attire is welcomed (but not mandatory) 🎄

YNiC Drop-In - Wednesday afternoons
On Wednesday afternoons, there will be a YNiC research tech (or two) working out in open plan. If you are struggling with something, or would prefer to ask for help in person, this would be the perfect time to come and work over in YNiC, have a chat and get some help :) 
(This is in addition to our usual support ticketing system, and of course you can come and knock on the office door at any time!)

Have a great week!

Many thanks,
Jennifer
