The EELISA communication team has reached an important milestone: the full implementation of the EELISA Communication Spots. This achievement was celebrated with a digital ribbon-cutting ceremony, where the members of the EELISA Local Communication Officers (ELCOs) Network came together to share their enthusiasm, and vision for the future.
Under the guidance and coordination of the EELISA Communication Director, these ELCOs, located at each EELISA member institution, will play a pivotal role in boosting EELISA’s visibility and promoting its mission, added value, and activities to students, academics, staff, and collaborators. Fully embedded within the EELISA Hub & Spoke structure, they work closely with Local Officers and institutional teams, ensuring seamless collaboration and stronger connections across the Alliance.
Their responsibilities include adapting communication campaigns to local contexts, leveraging institutional resources, co-leading specific campaigns with the EELISA Central Office, producing creative content for the entire Alliance, and providing communication support and training to various stakeholders.
In the words of Yolanda Pividal, EELISA Director of Communication: “This marks a significant step forward in the collaboration we’ve built over the past three years. While the concept was initiated by the EELISA Central Communication Office, the functions and objectives have been co-created by the entire team. It’s a true example of joint collaboration that is already yielding remarkable results!”
The launch of EELISA Voices and the EELISA 2.0 Podcast Series are just two shining examples of the network’s impact. With the ELCOs in place, EELISA now has a decentralized communication network with multiple nodes, enabling information and stories to flow more widely and effectively. By reaching every corner of the member institutions, the network ensures that EELISA’s initiatives, achievements, and values permeate more deeply and resonate further than ever before, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the EELISA journey!
