Your LinkedIn profile can be so much more than an online CV.
You can use LinkedIn to:
- Proactively share and promote your research beyond academia.
- Stay connected to former colleagues, industry practitioners, people you’ve met at conferences, and former students.
- Follow major news sources and organisations.
- Identify potential industry/community research partners.
Is LinkedIn right for you?
- You want to share and promote your research to contacts within industry, government, and the community (increase opportunities for engagement & impact).
- You have time to maintain your profile and post regular updates. A blank or out-of-date profile is potentially worse than no profile at all.
