TEDxAUTH is an independently organized TEDx event at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, dedicated to spreading thought-provoking ideas and fostering meaningful discussions that inspire and educate. As part of the global TEDx initiative, TEDxAUTH brings together innovative thinkers, passionate storytellers, and inspiring leaders from diverse backgrounds to share ideas worth spreading. Our goal is to create an intellectually stimulating environment where students, professionals, researchers, and visionaries can engage with groundbreaking concepts, challenge assumptions, and explore fresh perspectives.

At TEDxAUTH, we believe in the power of ideas to create positive change. By hosting TEDx talks, engaging performances, and interactive experiences, we aim to ignite curiosity, spark conversations, and inspire action within the AUTH community and beyond. Whether through insightful keynote speeches, innovative panel discussions, or dynamic networking opportunities, our event serves as a catalyst for intellectual and social transformation.
What is TEDx?
TEDx events are locally organized, independently run experiences that follow the spirit and format of TED (Technology, Entertainment, and Design). TEDxAUTH is licensed under the TEDx program, allowing us to bring the TED philosophy to Aristotle University of Thessaloniki while incorporating our own unique themes and local perspectives. Just like the global TED conference, our TEDx event is designed to feature short but powerful talks, delivered by individuals who are passionate about their research, ideas, and experiences.
TEDxAUTH follows the same structure as TED’s main conference, where speakers have a maximum of 18 minutes to present their groundbreaking ideas in an engaging and accessible manner. These talks are then shared on TED.com and across various digital platforms, ensuring that the knowledge and inspiration extend far beyond the event itself. Through this initiative, TEDxAUTH continues to contribute to the global conversation of innovation, critical thinking, and social impact.
Our Mission
At TEDxAUTH, our mission is to empower individuals through knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and creativity. We strive to create a platform for dialogue, where students, researchers, professionals, and change-makers can come together to discuss pressing global and local issues. By amplifying voices that matter, we help bridge the gap between academic knowledge, industry expertise, and social innovation.
Through each TEDxAUTH event, we aim to:
✅ Encourage Intellectual Curiosity – We bring together visionaries and pioneers from various disciplines to challenge conventional thinking.
✅ Foster Meaningful Connections – Our event provides opportunities for networking and collaboration, allowing attendees to exchange perspectives and explore interdisciplinary solutions.
✅ Inspire Actionable Change – By showcasing powerful stories and transformative ideas, TEDxAUTH empowers individuals to make a difference in their communities and industries.
