Falling Walls
What will be the next “falling walls” in the sciences and our society?
The Falling Walls Foundation is inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, and the dawn of a new era of freedom. The nonprofit foundation fosters breakthrough thinking and builds a growing network of leaders from academia, business, and the public sector to address grand challenges facing society and make groundbreaking ideas accessible.

The Summit is held in Berlin each year from November 7-9, the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, and is well received by the scientific community, policy makers, and the media. The holistic approach of international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral discourse is unique worldwide.
