ResearchSEA visits institutions in South Korea and Japan

In November and December 2011, ResearchSEA travelled across South Korea and Japan visiting research institutions, universities and organisations interested in sharing their discoveries with a global audience. To effectively engage with the media, researchers need to understand the international media world. ResearchSEA gave a series of presentations for students, academics and communications departments entitled: "Communicating research to the international media".

In South Korea: Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) and Hanyang University

In Japan: Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC), Tokyo University of Science, Agency for Science and Technology (AIST), and National Institute of Material Science (NIMS).

In addition, ResearchSEA had the opportunity to visit a large number of institutions in both countries. We would like to thank everyone for their interest and hospitality.

The Wall Street Journal's "Asian Innovation Awards 2011"

In November 2011 Dr Pokar, ResearchSEA's Managing Director, was invited to judge the The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards.

"In a way, the West doesn't have to prove itself," said Magdeline Pokar, one of the judges and managing director for ResearchSEA, a research-news service focused on Asia. On the other hand, Asia "always looked perhaps to the West for how things should be done. But increasingly I would say there is a lot of confidence. It's a big industry that's growing within the region." Click here to read the full article

High demand for ResearchSEA's Media Workshops

Many researchers choose to do research to understand and make the world a better place. Yet, much of this excellent research is unknown beyond specialist circles. The media holds the key to bringing your message to a wider public. Our workshops give you an introduction to the international media world and explain how better to present your research achievements to the media and public. ResearchSEA workshops also give you a valuable insight into the workings of the Nature Press Office and how they promote research. Our workshops are given by Ruth Francis, the Head of Press for Nature. She and her team coordinate publicity for Nature, the Nature research journals and other groups of journals in the Nature Publishing Group family. They work closely with journalists, press officers and researchers around the world to maximise the impact of published research. Do get in touch with us if this is something you or your institution are interested in!
