ПРОФИЛЬ КЛИЕНТА

Now home to around 20,000 students and 8,000 staff members, the University of Bristol has a very busy event life. Considered to be one of the 10 лучших университетов in the United Kingdom, the school organizes a number of high-profile events each year. For example, open days, public engagement events, conferences, talks and lectures. These events are open to current and prospective students, as well as the public.

The look of the published listing was not very appealing, or user friendly. For example, we were not able to search for events, or use filters”, recounted Laura.
