The ENVRI Community’s Updated Online Presence: Join us on Bluesky

Our social media presence is evolving to better connect with you and foster stronger engagement across platforms. As part of this shift, we are opening a Bluesky account to complement our existing channels and ensure we continue to meet the needs of the growing ENVRI Community in the digital age.

Bluesky is an emerging and vibrant platform that many research infrastructures (RIs), projects, and organisations in ENVRI have already embraced.

Our Updated Social Media Presence

This shift reflects our commitment to maintaining meaningful communication with our stakeholders while exploring new ways to engage with the environmental science community. Here’s how you can stay connected with ENVRI:

LinkedIn
LinkedIn will remain our primary hub for updates, including project news, event highlights, and opportunities for professional networking. This platform ensures strong engagement with stakeholders and collaborators.
YouTube
Our YouTube channel will continue to feature webinars, tutorials, and event recordings, showcasing the breadth of ENVRI’s work and serving as a rich resource for our community.
Bluesky
Bluesky will become our newest platform for connecting with a growing audience of researchers, policymakers, and enthusiasts. It offers a dynamic space to share updates on environmental research infrastructures and community initiatives.
Newsletter
Don’t forget to subscribe to our newsletter! It’s the perfect way to stay informed about ENVRI news, project updates, and developments from ENVRI-related initiatives. Sign up now!
X (formerly Twitter)
While we may retain our X account to secure the handle, active posting will significantly reduce or stop altogether. Followers are encouraged to join us on LinkedIn, YouTube, and Bluesky instead for the latest news and updates.

Building a Stronger Community

This move aligns with our goal of ensuring the ENVRI Community remains at the forefront of effective and impactful communication.

We look forward to connecting with you on these platforms and building an even stronger community for environmental research infrastructures.
