Why Should You Join this Webinar?

As part of the Campus by Karger series, this online event will bring together medical researchers, students, and clinicians for an engaging panel discussion on how to extend the reach of scientific work beyond traditional publication. Moderated by Ines Pires from the Karger Editorial team, the session will feature two distinguished guest speakers who will share their experiences and practical strategies for boosting the visibility and impact of research.

The conversation will explore:

  • How to communicate findings effectively to different audiences
  • Use digital tools and social media to increase discoverability
  • Create accessible publication extenders such as Plain Language Summaries and infographics
  • Measure impact in the context of open science

Designed as an interactive session, it will provide participants with actionable insights, real-world examples, and the opportunity to engage directly with experts – helping ensure that their research makes a meaningful impact both within academia and beyond.
