Engage Hubs

The International Engage Hub Network  

The Falling Walls Engage Hub Network is a global community of science engagement practitioners, leaders and organisations working to strengthen dialogue between science and society. From science dance classes and Indigenous empowerment workshops to STEM outreach and educator training programmes, the Network demonstrates how community-centred initiatives can make science more inclusive and impactful. This approach seeks to embed science engagement within local contexts while linking communities to a broader global conversation, in doing so, increasing local access to international resources, knowledge and support.  

About the Hubs  

Each Falling Walls Engage Hubs is a local collective of science engagement practitioners and organisations seeking to tackle regional and global challenges. Each Hub is led by a dedicated manager who builds on longstanding community connections to deliver locally grounded science engagement initiatives. Operating within their own institutional frameworks, Hubs remain connected by shared dialogue and collaboration through the Falling Walls Engage Network, with each contributing unique expertise and strengths to the Hub ecosystem.
