So, you’re preparing to publish your research but how can you reach the people really affected by what you have to say?

Working with the media and developing your profile as an academic expert on your subject through Twitter could be the key to engaging with the wider public and connecting with others in your field.

We’ll explain how engaging with the media and social media can help you explain the significance of your research in a clear way to the public and others. This can also help inspire young people – particularly prospective students – to take an interest in your subject and develop key communication skills that will help with your next grant application.

We'll take the fear factor out of using social media to tell your story and build academic networks, and show how media could be your pathway to impact.
