Social Media for scientists
Social Media for scientists
29 November full day + online follow-up session on 10 January 2025
General context
How do you use social media for scicomm?
Would you like to share your research with the online audience? Would you like to debunk myths in online debates? We will help you chose the right platform and tone of voice, and help you feel comfortable!
You get to know the "rules" of social media platforms
What works on which platform and why? The coach will guide you through the advantages and challenges of several platforms.
You find your place and audience
Step by step, you develop your own online identity and audience, guided by our coaches.
You build a network
You become part of a group of people with similar goals, on which you may count in the future.
To prep for the workshop, you will receive some content, preparatory questions and inspirational examples on our online learning platform.
During the workshop, you will develop insights on your needs and create a social media strategy.
At home, you will start experimenting with the platform of your choice and get the hang of it.
But you are not alone: you will stay in touch with your peers and you will receive feedback from the coach in an online follow-up session.
- Are you a researcher? Or a science communicator?
- Do you want to use social media to reach out? Do you want support to find your style and to cope with online negativity?
