Activity Report

Newsletter and E-alerts Email alerts (e-alerts) are dispatched regularly to provide timely, tailored information to our sub scribers. In 2024, the number of e-alerts dispatched decreased (-14%), and accordingly the number of recipients (-16%, see Fig 4). In contrast, the “Eu- research Info” newsletter again increased its num ber of registered recipients (3.5%) to an average of 15 142 per month (see Fig. 5). In 2024, social media remained a critical tool for communication and outreach to the science and innovation community in Switzerland and beyond. Both on LinkedIn and YouTube, our community of followers increased (17.2% and 8.7%, respectively), whereas on X/Twitter it decreased (1.1%, see Fig.6). The platforms Threads, Facebook and WhatsApp were tapped for the first time in 2024 and will be evaluated as alternatives to X/Twitter in the coming year. Social Media
