For the ECREA 2022 conference in Aarhus, the theme “Rethink Impact” is suggested as a frame for discussing how research, academic education, and training interact with, impact on and reflect society.
This theme resonates with preceding initiatives in Aarhus and the vision of Aarhus University for 2020-2025. It builds upon the university’s long-term strategies and fruitful collaborative partnerships with the business community, the city administration, the region and civil society.
The theme of the conference also resonates with the experiences from Aarhus as a European Capital of Culture in 2017 with the motto “Let’s Rethink” and the related rethinkIMPACTS 2017 project between Aarhus University, The City of Aarhus and the Central Denmark Region.
