The Conversation Europe

As part of the Dialogue with Practitioners programme, EURAM has partnered with The Conversation Europe to offer its members additional membership benefits.
Presentation of The Conversation Europe
The Conversation is a unique collaboration between academics and journalists that has become the world’s leading publisher of research-based news and analysis since its creation in Australia in March 2011. After local editions in France, the UK and Spain, the European edition of The Conversation started its activities in January 2024. Everything available on The Conversation website is created by academics and professional editors working together, supported by a team of digital technology experts. They turn knowledge and insights produced in academic publications and research reports into easy-to-read articles and make them accessible to general readers. 
Benefits from working with The Conversation

All work on The Conversation website is accessible under a Creative Commons licence and, therefore, free to republish. Readers of The Conversation are journalists, policymakers, and decision-makers in the industry. This makes The Conversation a privileged communication tool for disseminating research results to non-specialists. It is also a place where journalists identify experts or grab information before republishing this content in their articles. 
EURAM members who have published articles with The Conversation in the past have benefitted from additional visibility for their expertise. Consequently, journalists and policymakers have conducted interviews and auditions with them, or institutions and companies have commissioned research projects to develop projects in these areas and address their original concerns. 
Joint review process
The Conversation and EURAM have installed a joint review process to develop publications by EURAM members. EURAM will check that authors have valid memberships and that article proposals elaborate on research articles, books, or reports. When several co-authors propose an article, it is enough that one of the co-authors is a member of EURAM. The Conversation then checks the opportunity to communicate on this topic and the nature of the content. A final decision is made by the joint review committee around EURAM’s vice president in charge of the dialogue with practitioners and The Conversation Europe’s editor-in-chief. 
Submission process 
To submit a paper or to have additional information about this partnership, send a message to: 
theconversation@euram.academy
Articles should be 1000 to 1200 words long. Before submitting an article, please submit a short abstract (1 paragraph) explaining your results, the links with your research, and the relevance for practitioners. Abstracts need to be explicit about the link with your original research. Submissions should be done in (British or American) English. Academics shall only write on domains on which they have direct research-related expertise. Potential conflicts of interest must be disclosed. 
Services offered to EURAM members
As part of the services offered to EURAM members, The Conversation Europe will provide copy-editing, practitioners-oriented transpositions of the original submissions, webinars for practitioners-oriented writing, and dashboards collecting data analytics about readership and engagements after publications. 
EURAM’s Vice President, in charge of the Dialogue with Practitioners, is operating this partnership on EURAM's behalf.
