MatchPoints 2021: Democracy and Culture in the Digital Age

Since 2007, MatchPoints has been the annual flagship conference of Aarhus University, bringing together researchers, journalists, politicians, business leaders and engaged citizens to discuss the most pressing issues of the day.

The conference “Democracy and Culture in the Digital Age” explores the relation between digitalization and democracy.

Today, our society faces an almost insurmountable number of challenges: the climate crisis, Covid-19, a looming recession, threats against democracy and still greater rifts in social cohesion. A common element in all these challenges is digitalization.

OASC CEO Davor Meersman will be part of a panel on “Digital Leadership: Cross-Sectoral Transformation for a Sustainable Future,” on Saturday, 29 May from 14.45 to 16.30 CEST. The panel will be moderated by OASC Chair and Aarhus University Associate Professor Martin Brynskov.
