📘I spoke with Trond while working on 'Social Media for Research Impact', a book that I’m co-authoring with @bogers.bsky.social (coming with @routledgebooks.bsky.social early 2026). We dig into cases like this — where a platform supports doing the work, not just talking about it.

Some very good points! In the book 'Social Media for Research Impact', we make a similar point: impact today depends on how we connect, listen, and engage, not just what or where we publish. Perhaps we may even call it a new theory of influence in action—at least helping scholars to make that shift.

I just launched my new website, which also includes more information about the book: www.marcelbogers.com/social-media... 🙂

A practical guide for scholars on using social media to share ideas, build networks, and create meaningful impact.

Thanks for enabling this discussion! Because impact can mean different things to different people—or at least the paths will be different—we put ‘purpose’ as a core element in our book and framework. We recommend to define this for yourself, and design your ‘strategy’ around that.

If you use social media for research impact, how do you define success? For example, are you most interested in sharing findings with colleagues/the world, attracting readers, discussing work, getting media coverage, securing a TED talk invite or something else? Do you have specific goals?

It was a great pleasure to present our forthcoming book "Social Media for Research Impact: How scholars can share ideas, build networks, and make a difference" (with Mike Young @mkeyoung.bsky.social) during a seminar at FGV EAEAP @fgvoficial.bsky.social in São Paulo, Brazil.

I just published my first blog post. I thought it would be fitting to start by writing about my very first academic publication. What began as a background review turned into a research journey.

I’d say that the innovation ‘ecosystem’ is becoming the main unit of analysis. And of course, AI will have big influence.

I presented some background and the main framework of the book, which we call the Researcher’s Social Media Compass—comprising the elements Purpose, Presence, Platform, Personality, and Practice—which we hope will help scholars navigate the dynamic world of social media.

So, thank you, Henry!
Congratulations, and welcome to our community."

Also note that Brabant is known for hospitality. So let this be not just an honorary degree, but also an open invitation to keep returning. We still face grand challenges—and Open Innovation, and your voice, are more needed than ever.

• On the side: the red-white flag of our province North Brabant, a region known for warmth, trust, and standing by one another—just like you.

Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social · Jun 28

• On the back—besides your name: number 12, symbolizing the additional “twelfth player”—the community. To me, it represents the global Open Innovation community you’ve built.

Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social · Jun 28

• On the front: Brainport Eindhoven—a tribute to the ecosystem you helped inspire. And I dare say there would be no “Brainport” without Open Innovation.

Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social · Jun 28

But Henry, beyond the theory and recognition, what truly stands out is you—your humility, generosity, and deep sense of community.
Which brings me to this.
This is the latest away jersey of PSV Eindhoven, our local football club.

And your former student, Carlos Moedas, as European Commissioner, launched an entire policy framework based on Open Science, Open Innovation, and Open to the World. It really doesn’t get more impactful than that!

Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social · Jun 28

What’s remarkable is how widely your ideas have been adopted. Philips, for example, quite literally had your book in hand when opening up the High Tech Campus—one of the sparks that ignited what we now proudly call the Brainport ecosystem.

You challenged the closed R&D model and introduced a new mindset—embracing collaboration across organizational and disciplinary boundaries. Your thinking transformed the field of innovation management, and its influence extends into fields such as economics, public policy, and engineering.

Marcel Bogers @bogers.bsky.social · Jun 28

You are best known as the “Father” of Open Innovation, a term you coined in your seminal book in 2003. While many concepts are born in academia, few actually reshape how the world innovates. Yours did.
