Celebrating a Culture of Knowledge Transfer and Creativity: Presenting the First WiRe Research Video Contest

June 07, 2023

One of the main pillars of WiRe is research communication – how can the complex research of our WiRe Fellows be presented in an accessible and understandable way to those outside their field? One of our solutions: the WiRe Research Video! A project that started with the second cohort, each WiRe Fellow became the scriptwriter, director and producer of a video focused on their research project at WWU.

A lot of time, effort, and creativity went into the making of these videos – for many fellows, it served as a first encounter with concepts and tools of video creation! We are excited to present on our blog for the first time the videos from the previous two WiRe cohorts in a competition format.

The videos were made by fellows from many different research fields, and while it is difficult to compare all the excellent efforts, we’d like to invite you to watch them and let us know which ones you enjoyed the most by casting your vote in the following three categories:

Category 1 // Research Content and Comprehensibility: How well and in depth was the research explained?

Category 2 // Scie-tainment: How well were you entertained?

Category 3 // Vision and design: What do you think of the artistic concept, design and cinematic realisation?

So, without further ado, check out the videos made by WiRe Fellows and get ready to learn something new! Cast your votes for each video until June 21, 2023!
