ECR Network: Social Media for Researchers

A workshop that constantly evolves to take into account the fast-moving nature of social media and features bang up to date case studies and examples.

Getting your work on social media may be easy – but making it popular is more challenging.  This workshop takes you through the main social media channels and looks at how to create short, sharp, share-worthy content messages. Discover how to use social media to foster meaningful interactions and share your work with as many people as possible.

From tweets to live streams this interactive session is packed with ideas of how to maximise your use of social media as a researcher.
