By working together, we can support each other in promoting your research facilities, strengthen AQUASERV visibility, and ensure that researchers and stakeholders fully benefit from AQUASERV’s opportunities.
Fast overview of this page
Why should you get involved?
Your institution is part of AQUASERV, which means that you and other partners provide programme access to specialised resources, high-tech equipment and expert support.
​
By enabling the international exchange of expertise, we now have a service catalogue that offers over 600 accessible research services across Europe.
You are part of AQUASERV and can benefit from it!​​
​
Promoting your services
1. Updating your service catalogue page
If you ​have pictures that can illustrate each one of your facilities and services, please do send it to us. ​We can also add a Youtube Video to your page. ​
2. Let's put the 'social' in social media
We’re happy to promote your facility through AQUASERV’s channels, and there are several ways we can do this:
​
Option 1: You share a post about your services, highlighting the possibility of accessing them through AQUASERV. We will then amplify your post through our channels.
​
Option 2: You send us images, and we create a dedicated post to showcase your facility on AQUASERV’s main channel. Note: This option will be used once we have a strong number of partners to highlight, but please do send us!
​
Option 3: You feature AQUASERV at events. If you plan to do so, let us know in advance, and we will share your participation through our channels. For detailed guidelines, please check the events section.
​
We want to show you off!
We post weekly. Social media is all about socialising, so if you could like or comment on our posts from time to time, your followers might see this action and help us reach more people.

Sharing AQUASERV opportunities
Our main goal is to reach potential users — researchers, students, and professionals who can submit their projects to our calls.
​
To support this, we keep our call calendar up to date and share it with you below. We’ve highlighted the key moments when we plan to coordinate communication efforts and work together more effectively on call promotion.

Collaborating in events
Events are powerful opportunities to promote AQUASERV, so we kindly ask for your support in promoting AQUASERV whenever you attend an event where funded opportunities can be showcased to researchers. In return, we’re happy to share your event activities.

To help increase our visibility, we’ve prepared a few resources you can use when taking part in events.
