first TEDx event at the University of Erfurt

Forschungsbau Weltbeziehungen außen

In a world marked by rapid change and innovation, it is important to explore new ideas, stories, experiences, and perspectives that can shape the future. The theme of this event will be a springboard of thought-provoking discussions and inspire action towards positive change. The event will feature a diverse lineup of speakers from various backgrounds, each sharing their unique insights, stories, and experiences through TEDx talks. Additionally, brief interactive sessions and performances will be incorporated to engage the audience and foster meaningful connections.

Ideas worth spreading: What is TEDx?

Ideas that are worth spreading should be given an appropriate stage and reach.

TEDx events are part of a global movement that aims to bring meaningful ideas and inspiring stories to the world. TED, which stands for "Technology, Entertainment, Design", has established itself since the 1980s as a platform where thought leaders and experts from a wide range of fields present their innovative approaches and visionary ideas. TED Talks are known for their ability to get to the heart of complex topics and captivate the audience in just a few minutes.

TEDx events bring this spirit to the university at a local level. Here, speakers from different disciplines and backgrounds will come together to share their unique perspectives and ideas.
