About The Falling Walls Lab
The Falling Walls Lab (http://www.falling-walls.com/lab) is a unique interdisciplinary forum for aspiring scientists and professionals in the realms of science, business, politics, arts and society from around the world. It was initiated on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Inspired by this world-changing event, the question at every gathering revolves around “Which walls will fall next?”. The event provides an avenue for hundreds of emerging talents, entrepreneurs and innovators to pitch their research work, initiatives or business models to their peers and a distinguished jury from academia and business.
