DivE-Q Event: New workshop “Navigating Social Media” – Registration open
Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, by now, are no longer a new thing. Also, for scientists, social media platforms have become an integral networking tool to connect globally, exchange research ideas and ad-vance careers. However, what is a proper way for scientists to make use of these platforms? In this online workshop, you will gain a better understanding of the current state of digital science communication. You will learn how scientists can integrate social media into their activities — in a helpful and productive way. The workshop advocates a reflected media usage that keeps a close eye on how and when it is recommended for you to ‘go online’.
In this workshop, you will …
- find professional assistance in clarifying your objectives for engaging with social media.
