Using Technology for Project Communications
Whether you are a researcher, consultant or principal investigator, attending this workshop will provide you with a valuable insight into how web technologies can enhance your research project's communications.
The success of any research project, whatever its size, relies upon effective communication and dissemination. Within a project, members are commonly located at different and distant institutions, but it is essential that they work collaboratively and that their individual efforts are aligned, well managed and productive. Externally, communication with the wider community makes your project more visible and allows feedback to inform the direction of the project.
Emerging web technologies, including blogs, wikis, podcasts, and social networks, represent a powerful way to transform your project's communications. But which tools are best suited to the needs of your research project and how are they best used? During this workshop you'll find out, as we consider best practice, evaluate the options and develop a communications action plan for your research project.

- The role of communication and dissemination in a project
