Professor Karl-Henrik Robèrt, MD, PhD, cancer scientist, Founder of the NGO The Natural Step (TNS). He is a professor of sustainability at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH), and the chairman of the international research program Real Change. This program is co-founded between TNS, BTH, Lund's University and five Swedish Agencies including The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems, EPA, and the Energy Agency. The unique ten year program recruits university partners across the globe, applying one and the same unifying framework for sustainable development. Prof Robèrt is Fellow of World Business Academy, Advisory Board Member at Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, and Doctor of Public Service at the University of Portland, USA. In 1999 Dr. Robèrt won the Green Cross Award for International Leadership, and in 2000 he won the Blue Planet Prize, the 'Nobel prize' for ecological sustainability. In 2006 he was included in the publication "100 Visionaries of the 20th Century". TEDxMälaren (June 15, 2010) was organized by a bunch of quirky students from Singapore while on exchange in Sweden. The name Mälaren comes from Lake Mälaren, the third largest lake in Sweden. Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea on its eastern end to form 14 major islands, thus shaping Stockholm. Just like Lake Mälaren that connects towns across Sweden, TEDxMälaren will connect topics in featuring a holistic perspective of inter-linked global issues through the audience, the organizers and speakers of diverse backgrounds, with different forms of media. TEDxMälaren aims to reach beyond the Scandinavian seas and explore the influence of cultural, political and socio-economic diversity on the way we think, and ought to think for a better future. About TEDx, x = independently organised event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organised 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-organised events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organised TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organised.
