TEDxCERN description

This year TEDxCERN will explore how ideas that started as mere ripples in science, technology and education are converging and creating waves of change.

On Saturday 5 November 2016 CERN will host the fourth edition of TEDxCERN, an annual conference which features bold talks by trailblazers in science, technology and the humanities.

Under the theme ‘ripples of curiosity’, TEDxCERN will explore curiosity and the innovations it sparks. Topics include artificial intelligence, DNA editing, biotechnology, global literacy, DIY science, drones, oceanography, as well as dark matter and gravitational waves.
