TEDX MODENA

The TEDxModena, scheduled for Saturday, May 4, will feature 17 speakers who will present their talks centered on the theme "PASSION AND PERSERVERANCE" on the stage of the Church of San Carlo. Also renewed this year is the partnership with Unimore and MUNER, which from the beginning have recognized TEDxModena as an important Third Mission activity, and a scholarship in engineering will be awarded

The title of the event is "PASSION AND PERSEVERANCE": From Passion, understood as intense enthusiasm or irresistible desire, to Reason, as the stringent logic that drives us to make accurate decisions. TEDxModena aims to explore how it is possible to strike a balance between these opposing concepts through an extraordinary alchemical glue: that of Perseverance.

Painstakingly selected by the TEDxModena Team, seventeen speakers will take the stage at Chiesa San Carlo from 3 p.m. to speak-at a maximum of 18 minutes each, according to the rules imposed by TED-about professional and personal life experiences in the areas of technology, science, creativity, and entrepreneurship.

Internationally renowned speakers will take the stage in Modena: Paolo Ruffini (Actor host, film and theater director), Marco Ligabue (Singer-songwriter, guitarist and author), Andrea Barbi (Host, presenter, author for TV and Radio), Giorgio Amadessi (President Rock No War), Paola Guarnieri (Radio journalist and podcaster), Lorenzo Pizzuti (Researcher and popularizer in cosmology), Stefano Bartoli (Psychologist, psychotherapist and coach), Massimo Cotto (Radio speaker, journalist, writer, author and storyteller), Pierluigi Vessio (Consultant, business and team coach), Giuliano Albarani (Lecturer in the history of migration), Sara De Simoni (CEO), Antonio La Marca (Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics), Francesca Farnetani (Associate Professor of Dermatology), Miranda K. Brawn (Professor, Barrister), Carlo Guaitoli (Pianist, teacher, artistic director of the Municipal Theater of Carpi), Barbara Bottoli (Manager in the Off Highway sector), Michele Mignone (Opera singer and artistic manager).

The event is organized by the TEDxModena team, directed by TEDx curator and licensee Fabrizio Bulgarelli and promoted by Unimore, MUNER and Motor Valley Fest, with the support of the Fondazione Collegio San Carlo and the patronage of the City of Modena and Confindustria Emilia Area Centro.

The scientific contribution and support of Unimore and MUNER are entrusted and directed by Prof. Giacomo Cabri, Unimore professor, with the support of Prof. Francesco Leali for MUNER.

The TEDxModena 2024 will be included in the framework of the Motor Valley Fest, already full of events that will animate the city of Modena in the preceding days.

TEDx offers stimuli that often translate into reality: at a previous TEDxModenaWomen edition Leo Turrini recalled the example of Antonia Terzi, the first female engineer in the F1 Ferrari team; following that call, MUNER and UNIMORE responded and during the event "the Antonia Terzi scholarship" will be awarded for young women who take her extraordinary path" and this thanks to the contribution of Eco Certificazioni, represented by President Serena Farina.

The Biennale Internazionale di Canto Lirico "Milton Marelli" Award will also be presented on the occasion, by the jury composed of Adua Veroni Pavarotti, soprano Serena Daolio and artistic director Lucio Carpani

Partners include Banca GENERALI Private, Proxima, Florim, VEM Sistemi, AUDI Zentrum Modena Schiatti Motor, OT Consulting, Chimar, CADICA, LEGITA, Studio PR, Techboard Group, Modenamoremio, and numerous others.
