Research Reels
Tuesday 9 September
Have you got a research story to tell? This workshop will help you craft a newsworthy script for a short form video – think Instagram reels, TikTok or YouTube Shorts.
The session is presented by the faculty communications team behind AUT Uni News on Instagram. Be prepared to tell the story of a recent or current piece of research. We will have a filming set-up on the day, so you can practise filming your script too.

The School of Future Environments is proud to once again take part in Research Week, showcasing the depth and impact of its future-focused, transdisciplinary research across architecture, built environment engineering and creative technologies.
The symposium highlights the impact of our research through partnerships with industry, student-led initiatives and our research centres.
