Location

The conference will take place at Roskilde University.

Roskilde University’s primary objective is to contribute to experimental, innovative forms of research, learning and problem-solving that contribute to society’s development.

Roskilde University was originally established to challenge academic traditions and experiment with new ways to create and acquire knowledge. At RUC we cultivate a project and problem-oriented approach to knowledge creation, because we believe that the most relevant results are obtained by solving real problems in collaboration with others. We employ an interdisciplinary approach because no major problems are ever resolved on the basis of any single academic discipline alone. We also cultivate transparency, because we passionately believe that participation and knowledge-sharing are prerequisites for freedom of thought, democracy, tolerance and development.

The university is located in scenic surroundings just outside the town of Roskilde (pop. 50.000), 5 min by train from Roskilde station and 25 min from Copenhagen central station.
