Meet the Team
The TED Ideas society is an independent student group organised by undergraduate and postgraduate students for Bristol's wider student/academic community. We provide a platform for anyone to share inspirational ideas valuable to the world.
The predominant way that we do this is by running the TEDxUniversityofBristol event. Throughout this event we have speakers from a wide variety of disciplines present short talks on a topic that fits with our theme. This allows us to showcase all the brilliant ideas coming from the University and surrounding areas.
