Navigating Legacy Equipment Challenges in Higher Education

About the Event

Join the Digital Research Group for an open mic session focused on a shared challenge across the sector — managing legacy equipment. Whether it’s ageing lab tools, outdated IT infrastructure, or older systems still vital to daily operations, these assets often present barriers to efficiency, security, and innovation.

As a backbone for research and, in many cases, teaching, legacy systems remain fundamental. For IT professionals, understanding the complexity and impact of these assets is crucial.

This session aims to explore the specific challenges you're facing within your institutions, share experiences, and uncover common themes or potential solutions that could benefit the wider community. It’s also a chance to hear how others are navigating similar issues — and perhaps spark ideas for collaboration or support.

Join this practical and open discussion and feel free to share honestly, ask questions, and build on each other’s insights.
