This year we proudly partnered with TEDxYouth@Sydney and TEDxSydney on 24 May. TEDxSydney is one of the Asia-Pacific's leading platforms for celebrating and sharing world-changing ideas. The partnership is a natural fit with the University's mission to encourage innovative thinking and find real-world solutions to the most pressing issues we face.

The University of Sydney is one of the top research universities in the world – we have been challenging traditions for more than 160 years. Progressive thinking, breaking with convention, questioning the status quo and improving the world around us are in our DNA.

Fittingly, the University has always been an integral part of both TEDxSydney and TEDxYouth@Sydney, as a sponsor for the last eight years. We also contribute heavily to the compelling line-up of thought leaders and change makers on stage each year – academics and alumni.
