TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh
TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh is an independently organised programme of local events that brings people together to share an experience similar to the multidisciplinary TED conferences.
About TED and TEDx
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.
TEDx brings the spirit of TED’s mission of ideas worth spreading to local communities around the globe. TEDx events are organized by curious individuals who seek to discover ideas and spark conversations in their own community. TEDx events include live speakers and recorded TED Talks, and are organized independently under a free license granted by TED.
TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh
Founded in 2013 TEDxUniversityofEdinburgh is organised by students with support from the University of Edinburgh. Each year TEDx University of Edinburgh hosts a major conference and a number of smaller events.
