Science Breakthroughs

Celebrating the Forefront of Scientific Advancements on 9 November

For the 16th time since its inaugural edition in 2009, the Falling Walls Breakthrough Day 2024 on 9 November, the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, will bring together a curated group of international experts from various academic disciplines as well as the Science Breakthroughs of the Year laureates. They will share their outstanding research across all scientific areas, focusing on the overarching question, “What are the next walls to fall in science and society?”

The Falling Walls Science Summit's grand finale will provide a unique opportunity for global science leaders, researchers, CTOs, science strategists, science funders, and media professionals to exchange ideas and explore new solutions to current issues, making it a truly interdisciplinary event.

Past speakers include Özlem Türeci, Ai Weiwei, John Jumper and Meredith Whittaker.
