Abstract
With GWF moving into its final phase, it is time to share the programme network’s research findings and methods with broader audiences both within and beyond academia. These findings need to be presented in accessible formats that highlight both the scientific and technical implications of the research, and the interactions that have led to strengthened and new relationships that are producing more conversations among water stakeholders and further development of vital solutions. Pointing out how the research is transformative --– leading to essential structural changes in management and governance -- and inclusive – incorporating other knowledges and social interests – is a priority.
The voices of researchers are powerful tools in this work.
Scientists often use social media platforms to produce and debate ideas, share real-time information, spread their research, and find collaborators. All of these can be achieved more effectively through self-awareness, a little strategy, and care. This online session aims at providing tips for this through the experience of three Global Water Futures researchers: Professor Cherie Westbrook, Dr Phillip Harder, and Professor Merrin Macrae.
