Established 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Falling Walls Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that dedicates itself to supporting the humanities and sciences. At its heart is the question ‘ Which are the next walls to fall?’ occurring a result of scientific, technological, economic and sociological breakthroughs.

The Falling Walls Lab is a yearly event and promotes interdisciplinary connections between bright and aspiring academics, innovators, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals, known for their excellent work.


T he Australian Academy of Science encourages all researchers who work/live in Australia, and are active in any field of the natural sciences (including technology, engineering, medicine) or social sciences and the humanities to apply! Based on the concept 'which walls will fall next', twenty individuals will be invited to give a three-minute presentation on their research, business model or initiative


This year's Walls Lab will be held in Australia on the 8th of September, but for the the first time online ! The winner will be then admitted to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin (also likely to be held online).
