The role of BayFOR
For a few years now, BayFOR has been a key partner of the Bavarian Research Associations, which are funded by the Bavarian Research Foundation and/or Bavarian ministries. BayFOR supports the individual association with press and public relations work. Its aim, among other things, is to raise the profile of the "Bavarian Research Association" brand.
The support we offer for media and public relations work includes:
Online platform
- Every association is given its own area on the BayFOR website (www.bayfor.org) free of charge. Here the association can provide information about its areas of work, sub-projects, events and publications, as well as news about the association.
Press activities
- Support in drafting press releases
- Publishing these press releases through the “idw” scientific information service (www.idw-online.de)
- Sending them to thematically-relevant press contacts
Creation of PR material
- Free drafting and printing of a double-sided information leaflet on the research association (at least 500 copies) in German and English.
- Production of a trade fair stand for every association. This requires a contribution from the association.
Publications in the BayFOR newsletter
- In our BayFOR newsletter, we report on the initiation and closure of each Bavarian research association and on interesting results from research.
Events
- Presentation of the associations at the BayFOR trade fair stand at thematically relevant trade fairs and congresses.
- Inclusion of the associations in BayFOR's trade fair-related media work.
