Getting Social: Social Media for Researchers

Hosted by C-DICE, the Centre for Postdoctoral Development in Infrastructure, Cities and Energy and led by award-winning communicator and public engagement professional Jamie Gallagher, this interactive half-day workshop will help PhD students and postdoctoral students:

• explore effective use of social media
• develop your profile and presence across key platforms

Getting your work onto social media is easy - making it popular is harder. This session guides you through the main platforms and shows how to create content that gets noticed. Learn how to foster meaningful interactions and share your research widely, from posts to live streams.

By the end of the workshop, you'll be able to confidently create and share effective, ethical, and accessible social media content across platforms to boost your profile and network.
