Key Messages• Social Media has a huge potential for our work. • Organizational control over information can slow down the

outreach. • Social Media can help you to achieve your impact pathway by

increasing your network and reaching out to more next users of your research.

• The CGIAR should have a more strategic approach and start a series of pilot projects for experimentation and learning.
