This has to have been one of the best work-related courses I've attended. Not only do I feel that I have taken on board an enormous amount of information that is directly relevant to my job - and intellectually stimulating to boot - but I feel I have made contact with a supportive network of colleagues. All this, perfectly organised, and a faultless, fabulous environment, too. Outstanding. Thank you!

The RSP evolves “It’s interesting to see how the content of RSP training and events has evolved as the repository community has matured in the UK. I came along to the Winter School as a speaker but didn’t expect that I’d learn anything new. In fact, it’s been really valuable and stimulating and I’ve learned a lot” William Nixon, University of Glasgow, Speaker at the Winter School, 9 th – 11 th February 2011
