The purpose of a MatchPoints seminar is to create dialogue between Aarhus University and the surrounding society concerning subjects of wider societal interest. Therefore the seminars will be open to the public.

Moreover, it is characteristic of a MatchPoints seminar that the speakers at these seminars rank among the most highly esteemed national and international figures in the field and subject that the seminar is focused on.

The first MatchPoints Seminar was held November 15-17 2007, and has since been held five times. Read about Earlier events on Knowledge-based Economies, Nationhood in plural societies, Post humanity, Democracy and on Conflict in Memories. 

Director of the MatchPoints Seminars is associate professor Michael Bøss, Department of Aestetics and Communication at Aarhus University.
