Each year on 9 November – the anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall – 20 of the world’s leading scientists are invited to Berlin to present their current breakthrough research. The aim of the Conference is to:
- identify trends, opportunities and solutions for global challenges and discover international breakthrough research.
- connect outstanding researchers from different disciplines and support the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas internationally.

A new peer-learning platform, Falling Walls Connect, gives the audience the opportunity to contribute their knowledge and expertise to fellow participants.
