| Recipient Org: Description | About University of Bristol (to which the applicant belongs; the University of Bristol houses financial account of TEDxUniversityofBristol) The University of Bristol is one of the most popular and successful universities in the UK and was ranked within the top 40 universities in the world in the 2015 QS World University rankings. The University has had a reputation for innovation since its founding in 1876. Our research tackles some of the world’s most pressing issues in areas as diverse as infection and immunity, human rights, climate change, and cryptography and information security. We attract students from all over the world, creating a rich and exciting international community. With a choice of over 200 degree courses covering a broad range of subjects, our students engage with intellectually challenging courses that encourage independent thinking. About TEDx in general (x = independently organized event) At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. 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.) TEDxUniversityofBristol website: http://tedxuniversityofbristol.com/ About TED (with which we are not formally affiliated) TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 30 years ago, TED has grown to support its mission with multiple initiatives.

TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Nandan Nilekani, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Sal Khan and Daniel Kahneman. |
