Cupp Helpdesk
In this section:
Introduction
The Cupp Helpdesk is a user-friendly point of entry to the University of Brighton for local community, voluntary and statutory organisations enquiring about research and other possible collaborative opportunities.
It also acts as a key point of contact for university staff and students wanting access to, or information on, specific community and voluntary organisations for research and teaching purposes.
Increasingly, it facilitates enquiries from external institutions and individuals, many from overseas, and assists in the setting up of exchanges of information for visitors.
The Helpdesk now has two locations, in Brighton and in the University Centre Hastings. It also serves the Eastbourne campus.
