The Conversation

First launched in Australia in 2011 (then in the UK in 2013, the EU and Africa), The Conversation aims to enrich public debate with news and views sourced from the academic community and published on an online media platform associating academics, journalists and editors.

Fabrice Rousselot (former editor in chief of Libération) and Didier Pourquery (Le Monde, Métro, Libération, Histoire) are editors of the French version.

Université Paris-Saclay is a partner of The Conversation, which has a French version available on the same platform as the English versions.

Université Paris-Saclay’s objective is to make its academic potential known by publishing expertise, analysis and commentary in a language accessible to the general public and widely distributed under Creative Commons.
