To get a taste of the Falling Walls lab, here are the highlights of the 2014 event that took place around the world. And by the way: Dr. Jean-Luc Lehners, a Luxembourgish scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam, gave a fascinating talk about the Big Bang at the Falling Walls Conference 2011.

Falling Walls is a unique international platform for leaders from the worlds of science, business, politics, the arts and society. It was initiated on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall.
Inspired by this world-changing event 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 Foundation, a charity, is generously supported by the German Ministry for Education and Research, the Robert Bosch Stiftung, the Helmholtz Association and numerous other acclaimed academic institutions, foundations, companies, non-governmental organisations and prominent individuals.
