What is the Festival of Research?

With 15 stands and 34 talks this year, support from the academic environments has never been greater, which explains the size and depth of the programme which has been sent out by Aarhus University. All four faculties are represented when the festival kicks off at Navitas, and, true to tradition, visitors can experience everything from speed talks and workshops to exhibitions and live experiments.

The Festival of Research is a nationwide knowledge festival that takes place each year in spring with about 500 events and more than 65,000 visitors around Denmark. The Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science is behind the initiative, which aims to bring research and the Danish population closer.
