THREE DAYS OF BREAKTHROUGH THINKING
This year's summit will focus on topics such as artificial intelligence, renewable energy, quantum research and science diplomacy. Particularly relevant is the question of how scientific breakthroughs can help to tackle today's major global challenges - climate change, health crises and technological upheavals.
CONGRATULATIONS TO NOBEL PRIZE LAUREATES DEMIS HASSABIS AND JOHN JUMPER!
We congratulate Demis Hassabis, Founder and CEO of DeepMind, and John M. Jumper, Director of DeepMind, on being jointly awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their groundbreaking work on protein structure prediction. Their remarkable achievements, deeply rooted in artificial intelligence, have reshaped the landscape of scientific discovery.
Demis Hassabis, a visionary in AI, delivered a captivating talk at the Falling Walls Science Summit 2015, inspiring audiences with his pioneering contributions to artificial intelligence and science.
Similarly, John Jumper also made a significant contribution at the Falling Walls Science Summit 2022 Summit with his presentation, "Breaking the Wall to Understanding Life," where he discussed AlphaFold, the AI system that revolutionised protein structure prediction.
We are immensely proud to see these past Falling Walls speakers continue to shape the future of science with such transformative contributions.
Meet the brightest minds of the planet.
