Full Description:: At this presentation, The Conversation's Senior Editor Liz Minchin will share:

* examples of how academics have shared their knowledge with a broader, non-expert audience (not just the general public, but also potential industry & government funders);

* tips on pitching article ideas to The Conversation and other news media; plus

* UQ and other Australian success stories of reaching a global audience with The Conversation.

In just four years, not-for-profit website TheConversation.com has grown from an Australian start-up to a global success. Its websites based in Australia, the UK, US and South Africa attract a monthly audience of 2.6 million users, and its articles have an eventual reach of 23 million average views in a month through social media and Creative Commons republication (from the ABC to The Washington Post and beyond). UQ is a member of The Conversation

All welcome.
