“Crosstalks is an effective program that successfully reaches high potentials. However, its effects are synergetic. It is also a great example of how to bridge the gap between academics and society in general.” – Dr. Paul E. Ketelaar, Department of Communication/Behavioural Science Institute, Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Member of the jury for the Digital Communication Awards 2013.

Crosstalks – Where great minds meet!
Crosstalks is an international academic forum broadcast in a talk show. The programme gathers the brightest minds to share their knowledge and insights on the basis of world leading research. The tone of the programme is relaxed, with a twinkle in its eye: just like a good, engaging lecture.
Crosstalks is a platform for discussions on global challenges in an open and on-going dialogue with viewers around the world.
Crosstalks is broadcast live from two of Swedens top universities – KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stockholm University – at www.crosstalks.tv once a month. Each broadcast is aproximately 50 minutes, dealing with a specific current global research subject, each with three participants in the studio and additional participants online via Skype.
