WISIONS is searching for a communication expert

We are currently searching a professional communication expert to develop a communications concept for WISIONS. All details about the requirements and application procedure can be found below or in the attached link to the public ELVIS platform. Deadline for application: 10 June 2021 Direct URL-Link to tendering platform ELVIS

Gathering experience in research and practice of the core topic “sustainable energy solutions” both on the local level and in the global South (in the context of global development goals such as SDG 7) has accompanied the project work of the Wisions Initiative for 15 years. Over the past years, WISIONS has been able to collect a considerable number of success stories in this field and to build up a global network of research and practice. This has resulted in a very high information content, which needs to be reprocessed and communicated so that these “success stories” are given greater prominence in external presentations (website, press releases, news, social media, webinars, etc.). Also, the amount of organizations  serving the topic from different perspectives has grown continuously, making the communications landscape more complex and intense. As part of a realignment of the initiative, a new communications concept is to be implemented that will create an expressive presence for the WISIONS initiative  in this changed landscape.

For this purpose, we are searching for an experienced communications expert with excellent English language skills to develop a brand new communication concept for the WISIONS initiative as well as supporting the WISIONS team in the field of communications. We require the expert to have necessary references in at least one of the following fields:

  • Social Media communication
  • science or research communication
  • international cooperation, sustainability or energy access

End of applications will be 10 June 2021. Please note that the application documents should be submitted in German, except the project concept (Template 2) which should be submitted in English only. Details about salary and formal application procedures can be found in the documents attached to ELVIS.
