Royal Society Te Apārangi with support from the German Embassy in Wellington, the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment and EURAXESS Australia & New Zealand would like to invite you to Falling Walls Lab Aotearoa New Zealand 2024.
Participants will have 3 minutes to showcase their innovative research, scientific idea, or evidence-based initiative, and how it could make a difference for society.
The event is inspired by the world-changing event of the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989, with the question at every Falling Walls gathering: Which walls will fall next?
19 participants from Aotearoa and the Pacific Island Nations have been selected to pitch their innovative breakthrough idea to the Falling Walls Lab Aotearoa New Zealand Jury for the chance to represent the region and compete at the Falling Walls Lab Global Finale in Berlin.
Attend this FREE event to hear the 19 participants pitch their breakthrough ideas to the Falling Walls Lab Aotearoa New Zealand Jury and be inspired by these students and early-career professionals!
