As well as the recently launched BU Research Blog, BU Research has established a Facebook group to allow those of you on Facebook to have a private shared area to discuss research!
The BU Research group is a closed Facebook group which only BU members of staff can join.
The purpose of the BU Research group is to provide a collaborative working environment for BU staff to:
- discuss research ideas safe in the knowledge that all discussions will only be visible by other group members, i.e. BU staff only
- make contact with one another, to search for one another, to identify colleagues with particular skill sets, etc.
To get started, join the group and post a message to the wall!
We aim to use the BU Research group on Facebook to promote research opportunities for multidisciplinary calls, such as joint Research Council calls.
Enjoy making use of the site and please encourage your BU colleagues to join!
Let us know what you think about the group by leaving a comment at the end of this post.
“Blogging is using a new medium for what it is good for – connecting and interacting” (George Siemens)
“Facebook is a social networking website — a gathering spot, to connect with your friends and with your friends friends. Facebook allows you to make new connections who share a common interest, expanding your personal network” (Anon)
