Since 2009, the Falling Walls Science Summit has united the world’s greatest minds to break down barriers in science and innovation. Falling Walls brings together global science leaders, business pioneers, and public sector visionaries to share knowledge, foster collaboration, and shape the future of the international innovation system - creating meaningful impact for humanity. Events are organised into thematic clusters: Art & Science, Climate Crisis & Sustainability, Discovering Earth & Space, Emerging Talents, Engineering & Technology, Health & Wellbeing, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Science & Innovation Management, Science Engagement, Sciencepreneurship, Science Start-ups, Social Sciences & Humanities, and Planetary Health. In November 2024, a special focus was on Artificial Intelligence.
