Falling Walls Lab Münster
Falling Walls Lab is coming to Münster! Under the motto “Which are the next walls to fall?”, the University of Münster is organizing its own Falling Walls Lab for the first time in 2025. We are looking for outstanding ideas, innovative solutions and pioneering concepts for current social challenges.
What are Falling Walls Labs?
Falling Walls Labs are international, interdisciplinary pitch competitions for students, doctoral candidates and early postdoctoral researchers. They provide early-career scientists and innovators with a platform to present their projects and visions, and to network both locally and globally. In just three minutes, the participants present their ideas and convince the jury and audience.
Every year, more than 70 renowned universities and research institutions around the world host their own Falling Walls Lab to showcase the most innovative minds in their region. The winners of the regional labs qualify for the global final at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin, where they have the chance to win the title "Breakthrough of the Year".
Falling Walls Lab Münster 2025
On September 11, 2025, the first Falling Walls Lab will take place in Münster - in the middle of the city and high above the rooftops of Münster, in the FIEGE X-Dock (Am Mittelhafen 32, 48155 Münster). Participants will each have three minutes to present their projects to a high-caliber jury of renowned, regional scientific figures, interested guests and the public. The focus is on the innovative potential and social impact of their approaches.
Lab closed for applications – however, registration to attend as a guest is still possible. Secure one of the limited places via this link: guest registration.
