Target Audience: PGRs

Participants explore the main platforms used by researchers covering how to plan and schedule content, create platform-specific posts, and use social media as a tool for research, networking, and engagement. Participants learn how to make content accessible, ethical, and inclusive. We use hands-on content creation exercises and participants develop an individual social media strategy.

 

Whether you're new to social platforms or looking to refine your strategy, this session offers practical guidance on how to create content that resonates, grows your network, and supports your research goals.

 

By the end of the workshop participants will: 

  • Use social media as a research and networking tool. 
  • Raise their professional profile using social media. 
  • Plan and create effective, time-efficient content. 
  • Increase engagement by creating shareable, audience-specific content. 
  • Understand legal, ethical and privacy considerations
