A workshop from the 2016 Dublin conference, hosted by Stephen Thompson, Head of Digital Engagement, The University of Sheffield.
The workshop was entitled ‘Telling The Research Story Through Content And The Media’.
The workshop looked at strategies and tactics for using a variety of digital content to communicate a research story in the media.
The W100 Annual Conference 2016 took place at University College Dublin (UCD) in Dublin, Ireland, from 6 – 7 October. Eilis O’Brien, Director of Marketing and Communications, University College Dublin, was our host. The conference focused on how universities communicate their university reputation and research through storytelling and cultural heritage.
The theme focus, ‘Higher Narrative: Communicating University Reputation and Research through Storytelling, Culture and Heritage’, is one the Irish might rightly argue to be experts in, and it explored how you create interest in your present and future, through good brand narratives, compelling research stories and social media.
