LinkedIn and X (Twitter) networking — course for health science PhD students
Back due to popular demand! PhD course at the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences in Copenhagen is free of charge for PhD students at Danish universities (except CBS) and for PhD students at graduate schools in the other Nordic countries.
This is a practical, hands-on workshop in health science networking and communication via the social media platforms LinkedIn and X (Twitter).

All scientists, researchers and communicators can extend their reach and international impact on the two platforms. But scientists within the health and medical sector will find LinkedIn and Twitter particularly useful:
- The platforms allow real time access to, for example, patients’ and public perspectives, communities of support, and to advocacy groups internationally — but within a narrow medical specialization.
- The increased use of visual abstracts and digital formats in communicating research has been helped by the Twitter and LinkedIn scientific community.
- The corona pandemic has highlighted how Twitter in particular can be a means to collectively ‘peer-review’ publications outside the formal system.
There are more details about the course description below the short introductory video below:
The course is at the University of Copenhagen’s Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and is open to all PhD students at Danish universities (except Copenhagen Business School) and for PhD students at graduate schools in other Nordic countries.
A typical ‘visual abstract’. A shareable digital format that has taken off in recent years, particularly in the health and medical sciences.
