We have all heard that special story or met that unique person who has had a profound effect on our lives. Sometimes, the most valuable lessons could be from the most mundane of things; other times, we have gained insights from the most exceptional personal stories or events. In both cases, these things have made us "zoom out" and gain perspective on why we do things and how we should do things.
On the 28th of November, the R1 Reactor Hall at KTH will transform into a dazzling hub of ideas and engaging discussions. With the theme "Power of Perspectives", TEDxKTH and its speakers will challenge you to see the big pictures and dare you to think differently - all done through delivering talks in 18 minutes or less. With topics ranging all the way from psychology to the elusive quantum physics, the talks are bound to provoke your thoughts and spark new perspectives.
