Communicating your research

"Communicating your research" is the final stage of your research journey. Here, we look at how you should communicate your research, its social impact, and how you can ensure visibility for your research paper.

"Ensuring visibility" of your research has never been more important. In this series of modules, we explain the importance of SEO, (search engine optimization), and the points to consider when writing your paper, how to create a brand, the use of social media, and how to maximize your time at academic conferences – including networking tips.

Within our "Social impact" modules, you will learn how your research can make an impact on society, how to build empathy in research, and how writing a lay summary can help you grow your network and career.

Finally, in our "Inclusion and Diversity for Researchers" you will learn the basic concepts of inclusion and diversity, how to address I&D issues in academia, and how to set up an I&D program at your institution.
