Support and advice on research communication
You can communicate in a variety of different ways:
- Via the media – such as newspapers, radio and television.
- By building your own platform or appearing on other people’s platforms such as blogs, podcasts or social media accounts.
- By being available as an expert and answering questions from decision-makers, organisations and businesses. Make sure you have a good profile page that describes you and your research well. It’s a good idea to include a short description of your research project that is suitable for the general public on your webpage, or the research group’s or department’s webpage.
Important starting points
- Purpose: What do you want to achieve?
- Target group: Who do you want to reach?
- Resources: How much time and what skills do you have for this?
