TEDxUniversityofMalta - From Matter to Mind
KSU
24 March 2025
KSU is proud to present TEDxUniversityofMalta: From Matter to Mind, an evening of thought-provoking discussions exploring how experiences shape identity, resilience, and personal growth. Taking place on 28th March 2024 at 7:30 PM at DMME Labs, University of Malta, this independently organised TEDx event will bring together a diverse line-up of speakers, each offering unique insights into the forces that shape our lives and the choices we make.
Inspired by the philosophical concept of Chryssipus’ cylinder, which explores the interplay between external forces and personal agency, this event will challenge audiences to reflect on how we navigate life’s complexities and transform along the way. From resilience in the face of adversity to the evolution of healthcare, from the realities of war reporting to the role of spirituality in a fast-paced world, TEDxUniversityofMalta will provide a platform for profound conversations and fresh perspectives.
Among the distinguished speakers taking the stage is Lorinda Mamo, a designer and writer who turned personal hardship into a mission of hope and creativity. Marisa Xuereb, economist and former President of The Malta Chamber, will explore the mindset required to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape. Award-winning photojournalist René Rossignaud will share his experiences covering conflict zones, offering a rare glimpse beyond the headlines. In the field of medicine, Prof. Simon Attard Montalto will delve into the evolution of healthcare and its implications for the future. Journalist and media producer Mark Laurence Zammit will examine the place of spirituality in modern life, while academic and activist Prof. Maria Pisani will challenge conventional notions of identity and inclusion in a rapidly changing world.
TEDxUniversityofMalta is a public event, open to all those eager to engage with transformative ideas and connect with a community of curious thinkers and changemakers. Tickets can be purchased at https://www.ksu.org.mt/media/events/tedxuniversityofmalta.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TED Talks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
About TED
TED is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to discovering, debating and spreading ideas that spark conversation, deepen understanding and drive meaningful change. Our organization is devoted to curiosity, reason, wonder and the pursuit of knowledge — without an agenda. We welcome people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world and connection with others, and we invite everyone to engage with ideas and activate them in your community.
TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, but today it spans a multitude of worldwide communities and initiatives exploring everything from science and business to education, arts and global issues. In addition to the TED Talks curated from our annual conferences and published on TED.com, we produce original podcasts, short video series, animated educational lessons (TED-Ed) and TV programs that are translated into more than 100 languages and distributed via partnerships around the world. Each year, thousands of independently run TEDx events bring people together to share ideas and bridge divides in communities on every continent. Through the Audacious Project, TED has helped catalyze more than $3 billion in funding for projects that seek to make the world more beautiful, sustainable and just. In 2020, TED launched Countdown, an initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis and mobilize a movement for a net-zero future, and in 2023 TED launched TED Democracy to spark a new kind of conversation focused on realistic pathways towards a more vibrant and equitable future.
