participation. She and her colleagues have conducted research with the
Australia Council, Creative Victoria, DFAT and VicHealth to provide program
and project evaluations.

Professor Glow's research success has been recoginsed by the ARC's 2018
Engagement and Impact Assessment which rated her research (in conjunction with
co-author Dr Katya Johanson) at the highest levels for both industry
engagement and impact.

From 2015-2017 Hilary was a member of the Australia Council's Research
Strategy Panel. Made up of a group of distinguished scholars and leaders, the
panel supported the Council in commissioning original research and analysis to
inform arts policy development, providing the evidence base for advocacy, and
influencing public thinking about the arts.

From 2012 to 2015, Hilary was Director of the Arts Participation Incubator
(API) which she started with seed funding from Deakin University. The API
established activities and networks to identify the fruitful ground between
the arts sector, social innovation and scholarly research. Over 3 years, the
API facilitated projects, conversations and collaborations between artists,
arts managers and producers, social entrepreneurs and innovators,
technologists, futurists, not for profit and community organisations,
businesses, philanthropists and governments.
