In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Maciej Urbanowicz

space scientist

Maciej has been working in the space industry development in Poland for the last 9 years. He started his space career at the Warsaw University of Technology, where his dreams could be transferred into real enterprises – and the best place for that was Student Space Association where he got involved in a number of student space projects. But not only as an engineer, more often as a manager and a systems engineer. Actually, his activity was much wider and covered areas such as PR and business development. Maciej enjoys cooperating with people involved in the space industry. He is also an alumnus of the Space Studies Program at the International Space University, which made him even more “geeky” about space. Furthermore, he is a former project manager and mechanical engineer of the very first Polish satellite – the PW-Sat which was launched on-board the Vega maiden flight from the space port in French Guiana on the 13th of February 2012.
