How can LinkedIn become more than a profile and turn into a real tool for professional growth?
Our group recently attended a session of the Club Emprenedor UJI organized by @espaitec at @UJIuniversitat on leveraging LinkedIn for positioning, networking, and opportunity generation

It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on how researchers can communicate their work more effectively, expand their professional networks, and increase the visibility of their projects beyond academia.
Many thanks to Lena Sorigo for such an inspiring and practical session.
