Our interview with Jo De Wachter on sc.kuleuven.be/biochemistry/igem! Their rationale for interviewing us was:
"In order to increase the visibility of our international research projects and the connection with our Master programs on the website of the Faculty of Science, we have created a new communication and outreach plan. In this plan, designed by vice-Dean Conny Aerts, several new actions and activities are being developed. One of the important aspects of this plan is the international reach of our educational programs and research projects, as displayed on our websites. We have concluded that narratives (attractive personal stories) of students, researchers and principal investigators of a research team, are the best way to attract more attention to our websites in order to boost international recruitment of motivated and talented international Master students."

Social media

We have kept the public up to date using our Twitter and Facebook profile. Posts where made continuously throughout the summer.
