Marketing, Communication & Fundraising

The ICN2 Marketing, Communication & Fundraising Department offers a variety of services to facilitate and optimise the dissemination of knowledge generated at ICN2. Its objective is to maximise impact across all key stakeholder groups while adhering to the principles of responsible research and innovation (RRI).

Among its responsibilities, the department manages the ICN2 website, social media, and institutional image. It coordinates graphic design tasks to ensure that the quality of visual content matches the level of scientific excellence at ICN2. The team is also responsible for producing written content for external and internal purposes, aiming to engage diverse audiences, from the ICN2 community to both industry and the general public.

In 2022, the department continued to strengthen its audio-visual services and developments, including hybrid events, high-quality video coverage, and professional editing. These initiatives added a new layer of impact and possibilities to the ICN2’s dissemination capabilities. The team also supports and leads the organisation of high-impact events that elevate the ICN2’s profile in various contexts and delivers a strong focus on education and outreach. Back in 2022, NanoEduca received a boost from the involvement of the Societat Catalana de Nanociència i Nanotecnologia, acting as ambassadors of new online content for Catalan schools and beyond.

One of the key changes of 2023 was the appointment of Anna Rovira as the new Director of Marketing, Communication, and Fundraising towards the end of the year. Her role focuses on driving strategic initiatives, improving planning processes, and enhancing fundraising efforts to support ICN2’s mission. Her leadership is expected to align the department’s activities with the broader goals of ICN2, ensuring effective communication and engagement with a wide range of stakeholders.

Our social media platforms, including LinkedIn, X (former Twitter) and YouTube, have experienced steady growth, positioning us among the most influential national research institutions. In terms of transparency and accountability, the department plays a pivotal role in institutional reporting and meeting Open Access requirements.
