Social media & digital profiles bootcamp

There are now numerous channels available that can be used to amplify your research, promote a project and attract future employers. In addition, social networks can act as a valuable source of information and a personally tailored news feed.

We will explore different types of content that researchers can experiment with. What engages people? What do you want to include in your digital profile? In addition to designing an individual social media strategy, the workshop will include a section on legal considerations, privacy and openness.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• discussed the various ways to use social media to their advantage with other participants in the workshop;

• an awareness of the legal considerations and privacy issues;

• started to design a social media strategy that they can implement in their own time.
