The Festival of Research
The Festival of Research is a nationwide knowledge festival that takes place each year in late April (week 17), with over 700 events and lectures and more than 50,000 visitors. The Festival of Research was established by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science, and one of the goals of the festival is to celebrate the fundamental dimension of curiosity in research and to create more relationships between researchers and society. The Festival of Research at Aarhus University normally attracts between 600 and 800 visitors, and the event is free and open to all.
