Doing it More Strategically: How Research Themes Drive Science Communication at the University of Helsinki


As a multidisciplinary research university with eleven faculties, the University of Helsinki has an abundance of topics to communicate. To profile the university and enhance the impact of research and education, we defined five strategic research themes on which we concentrate in communications. In this session I will walk you through how we work around the themes, make the most of what we do, and what the results are so far. In a nutshell: how we have learned to do less and work more strategically.
