2022 URMA Member Survey

ABOUT THE SURVEY

This year, we focused on 4 main topics:

  1. Better understanding the organization’s demographics, so we can better serve and expand our membership, identify and overcome our biases, and improve our own DEI efforts
  2. The kinds of teams that we are on, our backgrounds, and our salaries (perhaps to assist in future negotiation efforts!?)
  3. The kinds of content we produce and what we do with that content, and
  4. Magazines, especially our digital presence. This is meant to complement the previous survey, which heavily explored print magazines.

Special thanks to Edyta Zielinska, Chelsea Julian, and Joe McClain, who provided very useful feedback during the survey planning process.

Question may be sent to Gail L. McCormick

Global insights into university research communication practices

TIME: 2:00 pm—3:00 pm EST

FORMAT: On-Line (Click here for the link)

URMA member Justin Shaw, UK-based Chief Higher Education Consultant at Communications Management, has been undertaking a review of university research communications around the world. In this session he’ll provide an update on his latest findings, building on the preliminary work he presented at URMA 2023 in Philadelphia. Justin will cover different comparative insights relating to: roles and resourcing; methods, channels and tactics; integrated campaign approaches and examples; and measurement and reporting. His work on this continues and he now has funding to expand this project over the next two years in order to feed into the evolution of best practice by those who lead on design and policy for research communications. He’ll also ask members about what else they’d like to see addressed through his investigations – so this will also be a chance to bring along your own list of ideas and opportunities.
