Science Breakthroughs

Celebrating the Forefront of Scientific Advancements

On the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, a curated group of international experts from diverse academic disciplines will join the Science Breakthroughs of the Year laureates to share their outstanding research. Together, they will address the central 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.
