Why use social media on your projects?
Social media allow you to reach an extremely wide — but also targeted — audience, maximising the impact and successful exploitation of your research results.
Communicating vs Disseminating Social media can be used for both communication and dissemination (both of which are mandatory for most of the projects).
But what is the difference between these 2 activities?
COMMUNICATION |
DISSEMINATION |
|---|---|
| Covers the whole project (including results) | Covers project results only |
| Starts at the outset of the project, | Happens only once results are available |
| Multiple audiences
Beyond the project’s own community, including the media and general public. Multiplier effect. |
Specialist audiences
Groups that may use the results in their own work, including peer groups, industry, professional organisations, policymaker |
|
Informing and engaging with society, to show how it can benefit from research |
Enabling the take-up and use of results |
