The first TEDxESA event will take place on 11 November 2015 at ESTEC, ESA's engineering and technical heart, in Noordwijk, the Netherlands.
The theme of the TEDxESA 2015 event will be "Science Beyond Fiction." We'll take you out of this world and lift you into new heights. Let us take you on a space journey where ideas are worth spreading, and where science takes you beyond fiction.
What seemed impossible yesterday, is reality today. Dreams become ideas. Ideas become concepts. And concepts develop into real opportunities. The future holds no boundaries – we need to stimulate our creativity and think beyond typical patterns and approaches. Be inspired, explore and challenge yourself to take the next step into a new world.
Step on board and join us on this stellar journey at TEDxESA!
ESA collaborates with TED, a global set of avant-garde conferences concept for thinkers and leaders in the fields of Technology, Entertainment and Design under the slogan "ideas worth spreading", reaching out to millions over TED conferences and free online talks.
In the spirit of TED – sharing ideas – TEDxESA aims at reaching out to new audiences, bringing up fresh ideas and challenging topics.
TEDxESA will be a long-term communication platform, aiming to continuously reach out across Europe. Therefore, future events are planned to be held in other ESA establishments in the years to come.
