Ideas worth spreading from Estonia’s academic capital
About the event
At TEDxUniversity of Tartu, live speakers and TED Talks come together to spark curiosity, inspire action, and create a space for deep discussion. The theme of the event, “The Hidden Layers of Our Lives”, explores the systems, emotions, technologies, habits, and invisible forces that quietly shape the way we think, work, connect, and live. Through conversations on science, psychology, society, leadership, AI, health, and human behaviour, the event invites the audience to look beyond the surface and rethink the hidden structures behind everyday life.
