Do you think your work is too complex, too niche or that nobody's interested in your research?

You're not alone, but you are probably wrong. With the right tools and approach, you can turn your research project into a story that sparks curiosity, shapes debate and drives change.

Help! My research is going viral!

With Melissa Schuring (VUB) & Paulien Decorte (Maastricht University)
Tuesday, May 19, 12:00–13:00 (Zoom)

How do you respond when your research suddenly ends up in the spotlight? Many researchers work for years in relative quiet, with little media attention. But sometimes, that changes overnight. A societal event, a public debate, or a viral publication can suddenly position you as the expert expected to comment. While this can create valuable opportunities for visibility and impact, it can also bring pressure, expectations, online attention, and difficult questions around boundaries and public engagement.

In this Lunch Talk, we explore what it means when media attention partly “happens to you.” We will discuss questions such as: How do you deal with sudden visibility? How do you communicate clearly under pressure? And how do you protect your boundaries while remaining publicly engaged?
