WHAT IS FALLING WALLS CIRCLE?
The global meeting on science strategy connecting leaders and visionaries
Falling Walls Circle takes place annually on 8 November and includes several event formats that foster positive developments in science and society. Here you can get an overview of the formats and their participants as well as re-visit the Circle sessions from the past Falling Walls Science Summits.
“The metaphor of Falling Walls is really to create spaces for dialogue about big societal challenges that cross boundaries.”
Heide Hackmann – CEO, International Science Council
“It’s a vibrant environment to exchange, to learn and sharpen one’s assumptions against other people’s ideas.”
Thierry Zomahoun – President and CEO, African Institute for Mathematical Sciences
“The participants decide the agenda and I think that this is quite interesting because it means that you have a bottom-up approach to both the questions and the solutions.”
Venki Ramakrishnan – Nobel laurate and President, The Royal Society
“It’s very exciting to hear leaders in the world express themselves frankly about solutions to problems we all wish to solve.”
Mona Nemer – Chief Science Advisor to the Government of Canada
