What we do
A project nobody knows about struggles to move forward: it finds fewer people, fewer partners, less funding. The communications team tells people what is happening at DOPE, as it happens.
We take photos at tests and competitions, edit the videos, write the posts, prepare the events and keep in touch with journalists. You do not need to already know how to do it all when you join: you learn with real tools, on real stories.
- 01
Photos and videos
From the competition field, from the lab, from the stage. The project talks are on our YouTube channel.
- 02
Social
LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube: what to post, when, with which words.
- 03
Events
From the launch event to the Deep-Tech Showcase: the programme, the stage, the filming.
- 04
Press
Press releases and relationships with journalists, all the way to television.
In the news
Since May 2025, DOPE has been written about twelve times, across papers, sites and television. In the chart each row is a six month period, and each bar counts the articles and features published in those six months. All the articles are on the Press page.
The numbers in the chart
| Half-year | Articles and features |
|---|---|
| First half of 2025 | 1 article |
| Second half of 2025 (the launch event) | 5 articles |
| First half of 2026 (the Deep-Tech Showcase) | 4 articles |
| Second half of 2026 (up to September) | 1 article |
