Falling Walls fosters discussion on research and innovation and promotes the latest scientific findings among a broad audience from all parts of society. We look forward to honouring the people who are finding solutions to these challenges at the Falling Walls Science Summit.
Whether you are a researcher, innovator, or a team of passionate individuals, the Global Call is your chance to showcase your groundbreaking work that addresses global challenges.
FALLING WALLS SCIENCE SUMMIT
A unique international and interdisciplinary event for scientific breakthroughs and scientific dialogue
The Falling Walls Summit takes place annually in Berlin from 7 – 9 November, in commemoration of the peaceful fall of the Berlin Wall. Inspired by this world-changing event on 9 November 1989, the question of every Falling Walls Science Summit is: “Which are the next walls to fall in science and society?“ The Falling Walls Science Summit brings together scientists from around the globe. Some of the most important researchers and thinkers of our time gather in Berlin to discuss breakthroughs with global leaders in science, politics, business, and the media.
SAVE THE DATE: 7 – 9 November 2026
We look forward to welcoming the people who are finding solutions to the greatest challenges of our time, and thus contributing to a better world, back to Berlin on the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall.
