to match / in line with / timed to coincide with

Formation: N + に合わせて / に合わせた + N

Shows that an action is adjusted to fit something: an event or date (timing), or a person, situation or standard (adaptation). It is neutral and very common in news writing for events scheduled around a date. Compared with に応じて, which means varying with changing conditions, に合わせて stresses deliberately fitting one thing to another.

Variants: に合わせた、に合わせ

ＡＩ時代の読書　非効率な出会いの意味 · 2026年11月3日

図書館や書店で読書週間に合わせたイベントが行われている。

Events timed to coincide with Book Week are being held at libraries and bookstores.

Here に合わせた attaches to 読書週間 and modifies イベント, giving 'events timed to coincide with Book Week'. It is the past form used before a noun (に合わせた + N), not the more common adverbial に合わせて. The nuance is deliberate timing: the events were arranged to fit the week, not held there by chance. Watch for the other meaning, 'to adapt to' (相手に合わせる), which is about adjusting to someone or something rather than timing.
