2. is a global non profit devoted to
Ideas Worth Spreading.
It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together
people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment
and Design. Since then its scope has broadened.
TED believes passionately in the power of ideas to
change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world.
Today, TED is best thought of as a global community.
It’s a community welcoming people from every discipli-
ne and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the
world.

3. TEDx
was created in the spirit of TED’s mission, “Ides Worth Spreading”.
The program is designed to give communities, organizations and indivi-
duals the opportunity to stimulate dialogue through TED-like experience
at the local event.
At TEDx
events, a combination of live speakers and TEDTalks videos
sparks deep conversation and connections. TEDx
events are fully planned
and coordinated independently, on a community-by-community basis. All
TEDx
events have several features in common, including TED’s celebrated
format, TEDTalks videos, and bias-free programming.
Within the TEDx
there are several formats. One of that is the one for the
Universities.

4. New Models of Life
Tor Vergata University of Rome presents the second edition of
TEDx
TorVergataU 2016, on 7th of May at the Auditorium “E.Morricone”.
The speakers’s talk will provide a way of reflection to better understand
how important matters can dramatically add value to every day life and
conseguently to the business community.
TEDx
TorVergataU 2016 theme originated from the opportunities created
by “New Models of Life”. The topic allows for a wide variety of applica-
tions: in particular speakers will explore new ideas in medicine, design, en-
terpreneurship, and more. Our goal is to provide the audience a 360° TED
experience demonstrating how innovation knows no boundaries.
TEDxTorVergataU confirms and strengthens the image of a modern, dy-
namic and lively University. The event will be available on the TED web
platform so as to increase the international exposure of our speakers and
our University exponentially.
