Aarhus Symposium Focus on the Theme presents a nuanced and thought-provoking discussion on one of the most pressing challenges in Denmark, closely aligned with the overall theme of Aarhus Symposium.

Originally established as Battle of the Economists, the event was renamed Aarhus Symposium Focus in 2016. Since then, it has continued to connect current leaders with the leaders of tomorrow. Through insightful talks and discussions, the event gives curious students the opportunity to explore a theme of national relevance and dive deeper into the essence of Aarhus Symposium.

In 2025, Aarhus Symposium Focus on the Theme will examine how artificial intelligence is reshaping the job market — and how organisations can move beyond the hype to create genuine, long-term value from emerging technologies in a responsible and sustainable way.

The first edition of Aarhus Symposium Focus on the Theme took place on April 3, 2025, at Aarhus University, Aarhus BSS.
