Research collaborations across the lakeWhat makes a successful collaboration between university researchers and GLAM practitioners? How do you get started? Where can you meet collaborators and build networks? How to bridge the theory vs practice divide? What does success look like for researchers in different institutions? For the third ‘Cultural Conversations’ event experts from ANU and the GLAM sector in Canberra will share insights into how and why we do research with collections.
