The Falling Walls Science Summit is an international three-day conference held in Berlin each year inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989. The question of every Falling Walls gathering is: Which walls will fall next? The conference fosters discussion on research and innovation and promotes the latest scientific findings among a broad audience from all parts of society.
The goal of the Falling Walls Lab is to advance scientific and entrepreneurial visions, and to initiate and promote exchange between outstanding talents and innovative thinkers across disciplines.
Falling Walls Labs are organised by independent partners of the Falling Walls Foundation and are held in locations across the globe, with the winners from each Lab being invited to present at the Falling Walls Lab global finale in Berlin on 7 November 2024.
In Australia, Lab participants compete in state heats, with the top two winners from each travelling to Canberra to participate in the Falling Walls Lab Australia Finale on 30 August 2024.
Applications have now closed for all state heats with the Labs taking place in the coming weeks.
