TEDxFulbrightSydney

Fulbright alumni are the soul of TEDxFulbright in Australia, involved as speakers, organisers or volunteers. Through TEDxFulbright events Fulbrighters showcase the Fulbright Program’s thought leadership, by communicating their meaningful but often complex research and expertise in lay terms and using the engaging TEDx format. In the words of Senator J William Fulbright, “[…] The [Fulbright] Program aims…to bring a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world affairs and thereby to increase the chance that nations will learn at last to live in peace and friendship.” TEDxFulbrightSydney will take place on Thursday 19 October at the Messel Lecture Theatre, Sydney Nanoscience Hub, University of Sydney. Reflecting the Fulbright exchange program, TEDxFulbright seeks to facilitate an experience that embodies the continued power of progress through international, cross-cultural, and interdisciplinary connection and community action. TEDxFulbright events have been held since 2012 in several cities including Cambridge (MA), Frankfurt am Main, Dublin, Washington (DC), Santa Monica (CA), Melbourne, Canberra and Bogotá.
