RTU INVITES SPEAKERS FOR THE TEDXRIGATECHNICALUNIVERSITY EVENT
Riga Technical University (RTU) is organising the second TEDx event and invites inspiring professionals from Latvia and abroad to participate in it by sharing their stories and outstanding ideas that could affect and change the paradigm of thinking. TEDxRigaTechnicalUniversity will be held on 27 October.
This year, the key theme of the event will be a person. Even in the digital transformation age, when increasingly more processes can be automated, and it does happen, a person’s role is not decreasing, as well as the significance of a person’s involvement in public, political, business, scientific, cultural and other processes. “In English, they say – it’s all about people. Regardless of the fact whether we speak about the global business growth, cooperation between science and entrepreneurship, big team management or multimedia performance, what remain significant, are mutual relations between people, interaction and networking, which result in establishment of cooperation and unprecedented innovations,” said Professor Deniss Ščeulovs, Head of the Institute of Business Engineering and Management of RTU Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management, outlining the direction of this TEDxRigaTechnicalUniversity. The event is being organised at his initiative and for the second time.
RTU opens application to those who are interested, who would like to come to the stage of TEDxRigaTechnicalUniversity in order to inspire others with their personal experience, knowledge, research and expertise. Most welcome are persons who will provide updates to the following themes in their speeches: unprecedented cross-disciplinary cooperation; networking, communication and cooperation; design and engineering that promote social changes; inclusion; innovative architecture; ethics of artificial intelligence; art and activism; coincidences at the right time; STEAM and industry cooperation; P2P philosophy in business, science and life.
