TEDxUniversity of Leeds

Our generation is living in one of the most tumultuous and interesting times that history has seen: Our democracy is in peril, education risks becoming a business, political and economic integration is falling apart, the environment faces serious challenges, design has never been so widespread, technology is slowly replacing workmanship, and scientific advances have never been so significant in our everyday lives. This Year’s Conference theme is focused on the instability of our future and the impact that we can have on shaping it as we move forward. TEDx seeks to bring together a multi- disciplinary group of speakers to share in the discussion of the opportunities of this ‘New Age’. From innovation and advancement in science, medicine or technology to philosophy, education and politics. Please note that tickets are limited to one per person, will be released every week for the next seven weeks prior to the event and will only be available to Students and Staff at the University of Leeds.
