- Why is Elisabeth part of our scientific committee? Her role?
Elisabeth is an expert in the market we are after “Academic Research Branding” and the way to do it right leveraging digital tools.
Elisabeth gives "PosterLab advice on the world of German universities, licensing policies, and finding people with a reputation to really influence on behalf of PL”.
She is continuously helping us to frame PosterLab’s value proposition so we get the best product/market fit
Elisabeth, what do you like about your job?
On my job I can bring together my passion for the Social Sciences and management as well. I meet people with a strong vision for digital change in higher education that benefits students, researchers, and society alike.
What are the biggest trends in the academic world today? In 5 years?
Trending technologies like machine learning provide us with new opportunities for research. New concepts like Open Science, Open Access, and FAIR Data offer researchers and the public better access to the findings researchers work hard to achieve. Implementing these technologies and new concepts into our daily lives didn’t start yesterday and it will probably take another decade until they become a standard for everyone in the academic world.
Why do you think PosterLab is the right “Academic Research Branding Platform”?
PosterLab incorporates multiple relevant output channels with intuitive user design and in this makes multi-channel distribution of research output easy.
