Join C-DICE and Energy Research Accelerator (ERA) for a focused session that will transform how you view LinkedIn as a career tool.
In this hands-on workshop, Dr Naomi Tyrrell – researcher, evaluator, and career coach for academics – will show you how LinkedIn can become one of your most valuable resources, whether you’re staying in academia or exploring new professional paths.
You’ll learn:
- How to create a compelling and credible profile that reflects your expertise
- Practical ways to build meaningful connections and grow your professional network
- How to use LinkedIn strategically for research visibility, collaboration, and career opportunities
- Why LinkedIn matters for researchers now more than ever – even if others say it’s not the right platform!
This isn’t just theory – you’ll see real examples of how researchers have used LinkedIn to attract collaborations, consultancy work, guest speaker appearances, and job offers.

Thursday 26 February 2026, 13:00-14:00, Online via Zoom
