The mission of OzGrav is to capitalise on the historic first detections of gravitational waves to understand the extreme physics of black holes and warped spacetime, and to inspire the next generation of Australian scientists and engineers through this new window on the Universe. The Centre brings together the Australian…

The nominating institution CUHK on the breakthrough: The cryosphere, the planet’s frozen parts, has undergone rapid warming in recent decades, posing profound threats to people and the Earth systems which are closely connected to all the UN SDGs. With innovative use of AI, computer vision, deep learning, and remote sensing…

Challenges and Best Practices of Ageing Societies – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 Population ageing is a global phenomenon that affects both developing and developed countries. From social isolation and loneliness to economic implications and pressure on healthcare systems, increasing life expectancy and declining birth rates lead to a…

Computer-Generated Decision Making: How new drug candidates can be identified faster through automated molecular design The discovery of new drugs and their development as medicines is a long, arduous, costly, and to some extent serendipitous process. Up to 90% of drug candidates fail during clinical development because they lack efficacy…

The aim of this project is to allow anybody anywhere to do genetic detection, simply rapidly and affordably. To demystify, empower educate and inspire.

The conventional manufacture of ceramic tiles involves temperatures of around 1200°C for 1-5 hours. This equates to a large amount of CO2 emissions which is compounded for coal-powered countries. Emma Horn’s solution is bio-tiles using microbially induced CaCO3 precipitation. It involves a negligible energy input and is highly scalable by…

Unleashing the Potential of AI in Education: Shaping Tomorrow’s Learning – Falling Walls Circle Round Table 2023 Artificial Intelligence is rapidly permeating education, with intelligent tutorial systems and chatbots influencing the way we learn and process knowledge. While navigating the new technologies, we have to comprehend the implications AI will…

Adivhaho Mphaphuli’s study seeks to propose a potential sustainable IoT application that will help detect pipe leakages in an efficient and effective way using IoT technologies.

We’re a Peruvian nonprofit using participatory storytelling and community-based research to engage learners and educators in fishing villages. They gain insights into their changing social-ecological systems in a shifting climate and industrialized planet. Through “edutainment” workshops, programs, and festivals, we provide tools and spaces to foster encounters, establishing relations between…
