Communication, Dissemination & Outreach Plan

Over the course of StrucRadiation, I will disseminate results at a variety of conferences to obtain feedback, increase the visibility of the research, and connect with other groups internationally to share expertise. I will give oral presentations at generalist audience conferences including ESEB and SMBE, and I will target more specialist conferences such as the International Congress on Transposable Elements. I will use Twitter during conferences (where appropriate) to increase my visibility and that of my research by using conference hashtags. Outside of conferences, I will post regular updates about StrucRadiation on Twitter and other platforms such as ResearchGate. Alongside conferences, I will disseminate results of StrucRadiation among the scientific community in Vienna by organising symposia in IBC and EvolVienna, inviting local speakers for constructive feedback on the project and helping to foster closer collaborative links across local departments. I will develop accessible material incorporating elements of StrucRadiation in the wider scope of issues in the public interest, such as the climate crisis, and participate in forums such as „BE OPEN – Science and Society Festival‟, Pint of Science Austria annual science festival, and European Researcher‟s Night, Lange Nacht der Forschung. I will use channels such as Twitter posts and press releases to raise awareness of my participation in these events, seeking out help from the Corporate Communications Unit at UNIVIE to do so.
