Falling Walls Lab Australia 2019: Three minutes that could change the world

See the winners of the 2019 Lab

Falling Walls is an international three-day conference held in Berlin each year that was inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989. The question of every Falling Walls gathering is: Which walls will fall next? Falling Walls fosters discussion on research and innovation and promotes the latest scientific findings among a broad audience from all parts of society.

The Falling Walls Lab is an international forum for the next generation of outstanding innovators and creative thinkers that takes place in over 55 countries annually.

Join the audience in Canberra

On 3 September 2019, the Australian Academy of Science will host the fourth Falling Walls Lab Australia at the iconic Shine Dome in Canberra, and free registration to be part of the audience is now open.

The Australian Lab is a challenging and inspiring format for emerging bright minds, giving them a unique chance to become the next big success story in innovation. Presenters will compete in the challenge, each giving a three-minute presentation on their research, business model or initiative. The panel of eminent judges from academia, business government and finance will select the winner of the Lab. The distinguished jury will be chaired by Dr Alan Finkel AO FAA FTSE, Australia’s Chief Scientist.

The Australian Lab winner will receive a return trip to Berlin and entry to the Falling Walls Conference and side events. The winner will represent Australia and give their 3-minute presentation at the Falling Walls Lab Finale as one of the 100 finalists selected from Labs across the globe.
