Shortlisted Applicants & Finalists
The Falling Walls Engage Pitches take place annually in Berlin as part of the Falling Walls Science Summit from 6-9 November, an in-person event that reunites the science community internationally.
Every year since 2018, organisations and individuals active in Science Engagement are called upon to submit their projects or initiatives.
The best submissions annually are selected as Finalists and are invited to present their Science Engagement projects onstage at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin, held by the Falling Walls Foundation in cooperation with our founding partner the Hannover Re Foundation.
Congratulations to the Falling Walls Engage Finalists 2025!
