Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

We are looking for fascinating ideas and projects for the Falling Walls Lab Germany on 18 September 2017!

 

In close collaboration with the Falling Walls Foundation, Forschungszentrum Jülich is hosting the pre-Lab for the whole of Germany for the first time this year. Bachelor´s and master’s students, doctoral researchers, postdocs, and young entrepreneurs of any discipline are welcome to participate.

 

The task is to make the most of three minutes’ time and present a research project, a business idea, or a social initiative to a prominent panel of judges from universities, industry, and media. The best three presenters will compete against the winners from the other international Falling Walls Labs in the Grand Finale, which will take place in Berlin on 8 November, and will have the opportunity to participate in the 9th Falling Walls Conference on 9 November.

The deadline for applications for the Falling Walls Lab Germany  is 7 June 2017. Prospective participants can register at www.falling-walls.com/apply.

 

We would be delighted if you could draw the attention of students and early-career scientists to the event and encourage them to participate. If you have the option of advertising the event, for example on your website, please feel free to use the PDF attached.

 

About the Falling Walls Conference:

 

Since 2009, the Falling Walls Conference has invited 20 of the world’s leading researchers to Berlin on 9 November each year – the anniversary of the day that the Berlin Wall fell. Innovators and researchers from various areas of society (science, the arts, politics, industry) will attempt to answer the question “Which walls are to fall next?” by presenting their projects and initiatives aimed at finding solutions to global challenges. http://falling-walls.com/conference
