The Gap In Between

Took placeJune 26, 20263:00 PM - 6:00 PM (GMT+9)

We often perceive a **gap** as something to hide—a sign of weakness, incompleteness, or imperfection. Yet, there are times when emptiness itself gives rise to meaning. A gap can represent undefined possibilities, the driving force behind new directions, or the starting point for deeper understanding. The 28th TEDxHanyangU event invites us to view the many gaps we encounter in life not as shortcomings, but as spaces where new meaning can emerge. Through stories from the fields of psychology and neuroscience, economics, technology, and arts and culture, speakers share how they discovered gaps and interpreted them in their own unique ways. By exploring perspectives that challenge the familiar and reveal unexpected insights, we hope to encourage you not to rush to fill every gap, but to pause and embrace the possibilities within it. **Now, we invite you to step into the gap.**
