Style
- KISS Style: Keep it Short and Simpla (always short, clear and catchy contents)
- Limit the number of technical words that only experts are likely to understand
- Use visual aids in your tweets as much as possible and tag relevant handles
- Convey emotions with your posts
- Publish content in other languages, to reach local communities.
- Schedule regular posts regarding your project theme or related themes. It will be a regular appointment with your followers.
Tone
Use appropriate, inoffensive language (this is how you will get responses and stimulate debate).
When Posting
You can share your information and news (using pictures, (live) videos, short messages, key quotes, etc.) at the exact moment they are taking place such as projects breakthrough, events, conferences etc. During the event: live-tweet with interesting pictures, tag/mention people, promote the relevant hashtag and ask participants to join the conversation. Tweet related content, scientific studies, published papers, web content, always including your hashtag. After the event: during the days following the event, monitor your impact and keep tweeting relevant content with your own hashtag (if any).
Acknowledging EU funding
