Description

Communication within research organisations is complex, even for experienced professionals. This Lightning Talk describes what occurs when undergraduates and prospective students join these more experienced teams as tutors or as participants in the Volunteer Science Year programme.
Drawing on their very personal perspectives Chaya Panahi and Alina Warncke – members of this key target group – outline how their audience insight and digital fluency strengthen the European XFEL Communications Group, particularly through social media work and the development of audience oriented offerings.
