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, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. 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.)

The MOST boring lectur EVER!!!!

[Shullfe]

So allways it makes me laugh when I hear that Wroclaw is an important City for investors because it have a strong knowledge support. They are interesting, posible, but only because investors don't paythere taxes! and when they moved in to Wroclaw, they allways start to look round for students and ingeneers in nearest largest cities like Poznan and Cracow.

[Shullfe]

Wroclaw is a city that likes to exaggerate. Allways! University in Wroclaw is small and not important in Poland. Keys Universities are in Warsaw, Cracow and Poznan. But they allways say that the University have a long tradition. Not so long, if it was created in 1945, during comunism and slill it have a name of first secretary of the comunism party Boleslaw Bierut!
