The Falling Walls Engage is the global platform for Science Communication & Engagement. The Falling Walls Lab is the global platform for early-career creators, innovators, trailblazers, and visionaries. Falling Walls Lab is a world-class pitch competition, networking forum, and stepping stone that brings together a diverse and interdisciplinary pool of students, researchers, and early-career professionals by providing a stage for breakthrough ideas both globally and locally. Our multifaceted formats support our participants in driving their innovations and develop their communication skills, fostering collaboration and creating a space for our impactful and sustainable community to thrive. Each year from March to October, renowned academic institutions around the world host local Falling Walls Labs to showcase the quality, diversity, and passion of their region’s most innovative minds. In three minutes each, participants are given the opportunity to present their solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of our time to peers, a high-caliber jury of experts from academia and business, and the general public. Falling Walls Engage is the global platform for Science Engagement, hosted by the Falling Walls Foundation in cooperation with Robert Bosch Stiftung. The mission of Falling Walls Engage is to inspire and connect creative individuals who engage communities and actively involve the public in science to impact both sides all around the world. The platform facilitates discourse and commitments around Science Engagement activities, provides visibility to impactful initiatives and creates opportunities for interdisciplinary and international exchange among practitioners and institutions. By advancing the idea of Science Engagement, Falling Walls Engage aims to diminish the gap between science and society, and strengthen the trust in and understanding of scientific findings to contribute to fact-based decision making and the overall wellbeing of our society.
