Join us on November 13, 2012 at the University of Basel to wrap up the “Swiss Academia and Social Media Landscape” program. We will share highlights of our research during the last two years, invite a number of universities to showcase their social media activities, welcome partners SER and GRS, and again give you the opportunity to meet your peers from other institutions.
We will start the day at 9am with coffee and croissants, and kick off the program at 10am, allowing enough time for all of you to arrive. Please find below a preliminary outline of the program.
The official hashtag of the event is #swissedsocial
