One stage, three minutes, a jury of experts, your idea and the chance to compete at the international Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin:
Falling Walls Lab Baden-Württemberg on July 10th, 2024 in Stuttgart at the Arena2036.
On July 10, eleven scientists presented their research-based innovations in 3-minute pitches on the Falling Walls Lab stage in front of an interdisciplinary jury of experts. The jury, consisting of Amrei Bahr (University of Stuttgart), Michael Baus (Robert Bosch GmbH), Barbara Bruno (KIT), Giso Hahn (University of Konstanz) and Ana Martin-Villalba (DKFZ), was impressed by the high quality of the presentations and, after an in-depth discussion, selected the following as winners:
