At AAU Match we initiate, support and coordinate cooperation activities that ensure the right match between the company, the task and the students before the cooperation begins.
AAU Match coordinates and manage, amongst others, the following activities:
A Project Fair is a facilitated matchmaking event where students from a specific study programme meet with companies and organizations. The potential project partners present their cases to an entire semester of AAU students. The cases are pre-screened by semester coordinators making sure that they meet the requirements of the semester plan. After the presentations of the cases the right matches are found through dialogue with the students.
An Internship Fair is a facilitated matchmaking event where students from a specific study programme meet with companies and organizations. The potential internship partners present their internships to an entire semester of AAU students.

A special kind of student collaboration is the AAU Solution Camp. During these camps, groups of students across study programmes will work together to present solutions for a company’s specific challenges or for new concepts. The camps run seven hours during which students (usually around eight) and company representatives from one or two companies work together with support from the AAU Match.
The key words of the work process are creativity, innovation and intensity, and Solution Camps often lead to highly innovative ideas and proposed solutions for the participating companies, while at the same time allowing the students to work with reallife
issues. In some instances, Solution Camps have even resulted in ideas for concrete concepts or products that the participating companies have developed further with the aim of manufacturing and marketing them.
