The conference will take place 6–8 April 2027 and will explore the theme of Water.
Water is one of the defining resources of the 21st century. From freshwater ecosystems to our oceans, water connects people, nature, industries and economies – and the challenges we face are deeply interconnected. Climate change, pollution, growing demand and increasing pressure on water resources are putting our aquatic ecosystems and water security at risk. So how can we secure a water future that is healthy, resilient and sustainable for all?
Research, innovation and collaboration hold the key. At MatchPoints 2027, leading researchers, policymakers, industry representatives and other stakeholders from across Europe and beyond will come together at Aarhus University for a two-day conference to explore solutions to the most pressing challenges facing the water, marine and maritime sectors.
MatchPoints 2027 is your opportunity to discover the latest research and innovations, exchange ideas and join the conversation about how we can protect aquatic ecosystems, make better use of our water resources and strengthen water security – turning knowledge into action and creating a more sustainable water future. The conference brings together leading researchers, decision-makers, industry leaders and other professionals working across the water, marine and maritime sectors.
The programme features keynotes, interactive parallel sessions, panel discussions, Meet the Expert lunches and a special evening event. Together, these activities will create opportunities for new perspectives, meaningful dialogue and partnerships that can help move water innovation forward. In the lead-up to the conference, three outreach events will open up the conversation about water to a wider audience.
