TEDx ErasmusUniversity spreads ideas to the wider world, establishes connections between the university and the city of Rotterdam, and offers valuable networking opportunities for participants and speakers.
Building people
Participants of TEDx ErasmusUniversity will enhance their awareness of the latest research from one of the world’s top universities. They will also identify new ideas that could lead to new opportunities and insights. The event is organised by RSM’s International Full-time MBA students in co-operation with Young Erasmus.
This year’s TED talks will explore ‘building people’. The event will discuss how new knowledge and initiatives are creating a better world for people. Speakers from academia and business will highlight this theme from different perspectives on development through education, social innovation and human interactions with technology.
Inspiring speakers
Ben van Berkel, the architect of Rotterdam’s Erasmus bridge, will talk about architecture’s effect on people. Teodor Cataniciu, young entrepreneur and founder of RE/START, will tell the audience about his goal to overcome inequality and empower bright-minded student refugees by giving them access to world-class tech education. Other speakers include Payal Arora, Patrick Verwijmeren, Ellen van de Poel, Kirsten Rohde, Aurelien Baillon, Elisabeth van Rossum, Elten Kiene, and Quentin Pleplé. TEDxErasmusUniversity will be hosted by Bob Maclaren.
