VeRSI Events & News
VeRSI periodically runs workshops and information sessions - to disseminate information to our collaborators and to get feedback on their requirements. These workshops provide comprehensive training on VeRSI developed resources, tools and applications, ensuring that users are adequately supported in the initial stages of technology take-up.
VeRSI's aim is to contribute to a range of conferences and workshops; this is an important way for VeRSI to share knowledge and experience and to gain from others' experiences.
