Past AIMday events

Get inspired!

The AIMday format was established in 2008, and has, to date, been used by 20 universities in seven countries, and with a vast number of different research themes.

AIMday events since 2008

We believe that the list below pretty much speaks for itself. AIMday not only brings academia and society closer together in an innovative way, but it also builds bridges across the academic world. Moreover, the list clearly shows that AIMday is truly multi-disciplinary. We believe the format is equally effective for all research themes. The key to success with an AIMday is to select themes that mirror a university’s academic strengths.
