Take the TEDx stage - Speaker application is open!

TEDx is a global program of local events organised independently under an official TED license. TEDx brings the spirit of TED to local communities and includes a series of short, powerful talks from passionate individuals. The University of Tartu will host its own TEDx event, bringing people together to share “ideas worth spreading” on diverse topics.

Right now, we are looking for the best speakers from our university - students, researchers, alumni, or other Tartu enthusiasts - to perform on stage and deliver new ideas or share experiences. You can share what drives you - your research, a topic from your field, an idea that matters for Tartu, or a personal experience that changed how you see the world. You have a chance to reach a broad audience of UT, Tartu, and beyond, both offline on stage and online, via the official TEDxYouTube channel and a live cast.
If your idea matters - let people hear it, and we will support you all over the process!

🗣Format: up to 18 minutes talk on the topic that fascinates you

📅 Event: June 2, 2026
