There are only two days left to sign our open letter to #SaveResComTraining. Let's prevent this regressive, anti-research and harmful decision from going ahead - sign our open letter (saverescomtraining.gitbook.i…) and submit your feedback to the Uni (go.unimelb.edu.au/266i).

Dear researchers and friends - with the University's consultation period closing this Fri, the window for you to sign our open letter, submit feedback and support us to #SaveResComTraining is very small. We need your help to keep helping you and thousands of researchers.

Tell your friends & fellow researchers about the irreplaceable training & support that the University is prepared to disestablish, and sign our open letter to stop this from going ahead: saverescomtraining.gitbook.i…. Now, more than ever, researchers need to be supported.

Over 2.5k researchers rely on our training each year; if you haven't used our service, your fellow researchers likely have. If you think a decision to slow research, increase costs & break networks for researchers isn't the right one, we need your help to #SaveResComTraining

If you haven't already, add your name to our open letter to the University's research leaders: saverescomtraining.gitbook.i… Submit your feedback to the Uni's proposal to disestablish this service: go.unimelb.edu.au/266i We can't thank you enough for all your support so far ❤️
Our core mission has always been to reduce toil & empower researchers by providing them with the training and skills needed to harness digital tools for their research. The Uni has neglected to provide researchers w viable alternatives for training we currently provide for free.

If you think a researcher-pays model, outsourcing and scrapping of support & collaboration is unfair and don't want to see research adversely impacted, make your voice heard; you have until Jan 29 (next Fri) to submit your feedback to the University ➡️: go.unimelb.edu.au/266i

Here's what one prospective researcher told us ⬇️. Both current and future researchers rely on quality, accessible digital research training to successfully undertake their research. Help us #SaveResComTraining so researchers continue to be supported: saverescomtraining.gitbook.i…

We have built communities around digital research tools which allow researchers to be supported, meet other researchers & skill share. With our proposed disestablishment, these invaluable institutional networks will disappear. Sign to #SaveResComTraining: saverescomtraining.gitbook.i…

Our team has provided training to thousands of researchers over the past 7 years. The University's proposal to disestablish this would see essential training & community cease at the Uni. Haven't signed the open letter to #SaveResComTraining? Sign now: saverescomtraining.gitbook.i…

Colleagues, current students, future students, benefactors & friends of @unimelb — don't let this incredible research training resource be dismantled! #SaveResComTraining
Think essential research training should be free to researchers? So do we. Delivering quality training researchers need to complete their research for free has been at the centre of our service's existence over the past 7 years. Let's keep it like that and #SaveResComTraining ⬇️
