Sharing research with the world is becoming ever-more important with the new criteria in REF. When trying to reach large audiences, Twitter is a must-use tool – a shared (“retweeted”) message in Twitter reaches an average audience of over 1,000 people.
To help you share and develop your research using Twitter, BU is hosting workshops on how to use and make the most of the tool.
Even if you’ve never used Twitter before, attend one of these sessions to learn how to create your account with an enticing profile, compose engaging messages (“tweets”), interact with academics, businesses and organisations in your field and sow the seeds of impact for REF assessment using Twitter.
