The next TEDxErasmusUniversity event on Wednesday, 9 October features eight speakers presenting their view of shifting perspectives – and four of them have a connection to RSM. Prof. Michaéla Schippers, MBA2015 alumna Lena Avramenko Misuno, Dr Frank Wijen, and spoken word artist Houda el Khannoussi are among those presenting their ideas based on the changes of perspective, constant innovations and adaptations needed in a fast-changing world.

TEDx events are independently organised TED Talks which take place around the world. They present a wide range of ideas and perspectives in short, powerful talks of 18 minutes or less. Tickets for ‘A Shift In Perspective’ at HAL4 on the Maas River close to the Woudestein campus are expected to sell out fast, but these TEDx speakers and their work can be followed on other channels – including Instagram and via the Facebook event page.
