The event was successfully organized by a dedicated team of students, led by Oleksandra Shvets and Paul-Frederic Scharlau, with the support of KLU staff, especially Prof. Brooke Gazdag and Prof. Niels Van Quaquebeke.
The event was part of TEDx, a program of local, independently organized events inspired by TED’s mission to share and spread ideas. TEDxKLU Hamburg provided a platform for deep discussion, learning, and networking, bringing together students, professionals, and thought leaders to explore critical issues shaping our future.
