One stage, three minutes, a jury of experts, your idea and the chance to compete at the international Falling Walls Science Summit: the Falling Walls Lab Baden-Württemberg is coming to Stuttgart in 2024. We cordially invite all researchers from Baden-Württemberg to apply for this year's Lab with their innovative ideas and projects!
Every year on November 9, the Falling Walls Science Summit takes place in Berlin - an international forum that brings together world leaders from science, business, culture and politics to provide a platform for possible solutions to global challenges. A highlight of the three-day summit is the search for the "Science Breakthrough of the Year", for which top scientists from all over the world are invited to present their innovations, ideas, research results or business models to a top-class jury from science and business. Participating in the Science Summit's Lab means taking part in an international pitch competition, a networking forum and a springboard to exchange ideas with researchers and young professionals from all disciplines and nations.
San Francisco, Cape Town, Baden-Württemberg - Stuttgart as an International Lab Location
Which wall will your research break? As a qualifying round of the international Science Summit in Berlin, the so-called Falling Walls Labs are taking place worldwide - in addition to San Francisco, Cape Town, Myanmar, Dakar, Tel Aviv and many more, we are also putting Stuttgart on the map this year. On July 10, the Falling Walls Lab Baden-Württemberg 2024 will open its doors in the ARENA2036 at Campus Vaihingen.
Participants will have three minutes to present their idea to a jury of experts, who will then decide on the winner and enable them to take part in the Falling Walls Science Summit.
What should I expect at the Falling Walls Lab Baden-Württemberg?
From a large number of top-class applications, we have selected eleven participants to take part in this year's Falling Walls Lab Baden-Württemberg. From neuroscience and geology to higher mathematics and engineering to cognitive psychology, exciting projects and innovations are represented, which you can experience live on stage on July 10 from 14:00.
