Getting your research to work on social media may be easy, but how do you ensure the content is popular, meaningful, and reaches the right people?
As the world has moved online it’s essential to make your voice stand out, but how do you find and connect with your audience to create a live experience that goes beyond the average Zoom meeting?
Do you have a research story worthy of a global audience, but don’t feel confident in storytelling in a way that will make people listen?
Are you keen to create new and exciting engagement activities, but lack the time, space, and creativity to do it?
Want to engage with the public but you’re unsure how to make it a two-way mutually beneficial experience?
Can you afford to give up an afternoon, or two, to discover the key to successful public engagement? Perhaps the question is, can you afford not to…?
The ESRC IAA team are working with engagement experts at Skillfluence and the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement, to help Surrey’s social science researchers take confident steps towards effective external communication.
Through our series of Zoom based short courses, lasting just a few hours, you’ll learn from professional trainers who are award winners at helping researchers promote their work to public audiences, online and offline.
You’ll have the chance to learn about developing videos, blog posts, social media content and activity plans, whilst building skills and confidence in storytelling and communicating about your work. Our trainers will help you identify opportunities to engage with audiences and will support you to strengthen and grow the impact of your research.
We will also guide you through the application process to potentially receive ESRC funding to deliver a ‘Festival of Social Science’ event about your work, in Autumn 2021.
If you can see the benefit in giving up a few hours of your time to access valuable bespoke engagement training, we look forward to seeing you on our courses!
Places are limited and you will need to register your interest via Eventbrite. We will then contact you to confirm your place and provide joining instructions.
