Academics and universities are still wrong about social media ⬇️

What is the biggest misconception that researchers have about using social media professionally? It is that social media is something you only do to disseminate your research AFTER it's done. 'Social Media for Research Impact' with @bogers.bsky.social

Where would you take students to start a course on open innovation? In Eindhoven, the Philips Stadium makes surprising sense: PSV’s strategy connects people, organization and the Brainport ecosystem—and combines competition with openness. A rather good first classroom.

What if universities help address global challenges through ecosystem orchestration? Our new invited article in Research-Technology Management explores the idea of the Fourth Generation University, which is part of our broader research agenda and aligned with the new institutional plan at @tue.nl.
The fourth-generation university (4GU) represents a fundamental shift in how universities engage with innovation ecosystems. While entrepreneurial universities emphasize commercialization and direct economic engagement, 4GUs explicitly organize their teaching, research, and valorization activities around societal transformation missions while orchestrating regional innovation ecosystems. For R&D managers, this transition creates new strategic opportunities: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) gain access to research infrastructure and collaborative networks otherwise beyond their reach, while large corporations can externalize exploratory research and participate in system-level solutions to grand challenges. We develop a working definition of the 4GU and demonstrate its practical implications through Eindhoven University of Technology’s evolution within the Brainport ecosystem, showing how this model creates value for R&D managers through ecosystem participation rather than bilateral knowledge transfer. We provide a staged implementation framework that guides firms from ecosystem assessment to co-orchestration, supported by multitier performance metrics that balance traditional innovation outputs with ecosystem development indicators. This article contributes to innovation management practice by reframing university–industry collaboration as ecosystem development—essential for addressing the complex, interdependent challenges that define contemporary innovation.

I’ve been circling around this box from @routledgebooks.bsky.social for days. I was nervous about opening it. It was, after all, the end result of a full year of thinking, writing, and rethinking. It is a book about using social media slowly. So I approached it … slowly 🙂

Some very good points! In the book 'Social Media for Research Impact', we make a similar point: impact today depends on how we connect, listen, and engage, not just what or where we publish. Perhaps we may even call it a new theory of influence in action—at least helping scholars to make that shift.

Thanks for enabling this discussion! Because impact can mean different things to different people—or at least the paths will be different—we put ‘purpose’ as a core element in our book and framework. We recommend to define this for yourself, and design your ‘strategy’ around that.

If you use social media for research impact, how do you define success? For example, are you most interested in sharing findings with colleagues/the world, attracting readers, discussing work, getting media coverage, securing a TED talk invite or something else? Do you have specific goals? 🧪
