In addition, organize an Annual Schools2030 Global Research Symposia supported by the Schools2030 Global Communications Manager and Schools2030 Global Programme Manager to showcase the Schools2030 Global Research Partners’ results.
- Global Communications: Amplify Schools2030 research through online channels, including blogs, social media and managing the portion of the Schools2030 website dedicated to the Schools2030 Global Research Partners.
