Communications Corner is here to provide guidance and inspiration. It is a forum where researchers can learn from each other, share their experiences, and ask for help or advice.
DFID’s new research strategy is committed to spending £1 billion on research during 2008-2013. We know that a significant investment in solid communications work has to be part of any successful research programme.
While a good communications strategy is the foundation of better engagement throughout the research and policymaking process, there are many different ways to incorporate better communications into your work. R4D Communications Corner offers advice on how to start (How to do it) and a range of resources (Helpful resources) and organisations (Who else is doing it) to help you communicate more effectively. It provides a platform to share your progress and achievements, and to challenge others involved in similar work.
Every Friday the R4D Comms Corner Blog aims to inspire with examples of innovative communications, both from within the DFID research community and from further afield. A companion blog, R4D Podium, invites DFID researchers to contribute significant communications work or challenges. Readers are encouraged to comment on the entries, helping colleagues to solve their problems and learning from their successes.
