The Conversation: A Platform to Showcase the Expertise of Our Researchers and Laboratories

We have been a partner and founding member of the collaborative online media outlet The Conversation since 2016. This website aims to combine academic expertise with journalistic know-how to provide the general public with free, independent, and high-quality information.
The articles, which are short in length, cover current events and social issues. They are written by researchers and academics in collaboration with a team of experienced journalists.

Every article published on the website The Conversation It can be republished by traditional media outlets and websites, generating a very large cumulative audience. Some articles translated into English are also published in the English-language press, giving the topic international exposure. Journalists also find it easier to identify experts at theUniversité Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and can call on them to comment on current events.
