2019 Pitch it clever
Pitch it Clever is an annual competition from Universities Australia challenging early career researchers to communicate their research and why it matters to non-specialist audiences via video. University research has the power to enhance our economy, improve our societies and better the world. The challenge is to create a 1- to 2- minute video that clearly unpacks the research and how it can be applied.
Here is PhD researcher Emily Chen with her video submission: Tracking Social Media to Understand Chinese Tourists’ Travel Patterns in Australia
