URMA is for research communicators
We promote excellence and professionalism among those who write, edit, design, and publish magazines, e-newsletters, social media, and multimedia about research at a university, nonprofit research center, agency or institute.
Want to join a dynamic group of research communicators in a small, active organization?
URMA has an e-discussion group where we share resources, opportunities and challenges we have in communicating research, both internally and externally, to receive feedback from peers.
Every year, we get to travel to different universities for our annual conference. And every month we host URMA Live! to learn from each other and from other professionals on a variety of topics.
I saw URMA as an opportunity to learn from people who’ve been doing this a while, and maybe steal a few ideas in the process. I wasn’t disappointed.
— Bob Whitby, University of Arkansas
URMA is a unique organization bringing together communication talents from around the world, imparting skills and expanding networks, which is parallel to none.
— David Barczak, University of Delaware
