Using Social Media to Communicate and Enhance your Research (Research Staff Development Opportunity)

Research Staff Development Opportunities.

This is aimed at all interested researchers. Social media has fast established itself as not only a tool to broadcast information, but also as a platform for discussion and debate. This session is an introduction to using social media tools to communicate your research effectively. We’ll look at some strategies of how you can get started and manage your social media presence; ways different platforms are used and provide some real life examples of how other researchers have used social media. Finally, we’ll explore how you can start to measure the success, or otherwise, of your social media efforts.
