A special opportunity to learn more about The Conversation and participate in a workshop on how to prepare a pitch for The Conversation.

The Conversation is an online platform for research news written for a wider audience with the help of experienced editors. This means a wide exposure and also a possibility that your story will be picked up by major media and distributed further. Lund University is a member of The Conversation UK and there is no charge for contributions. More information about The Conversation can be found on the staff pages.

Thus, if you are looking to share your research with a wider audience, please join the event.
