The call for applications is now open for the Falling Walls Lab Sydney. Students, researchers, and early-career professionals who are residents of NSW, the ACT or VIC are invited to apply with their ground-breaking research, business models, and initiatives from all disciplines.

Selected participants are given the opportunity to participate in a pitch competition and present their work to peers, a high-calibre jury of experts from academia and business, and the general public. The winners will then compete with the other state finalists at the Falling Walls Lab Australia in Canberra on 18 September 2023 (organised by the Australian Academy of Science) to determine who will be representing Australia at the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin, Germany in November 2023 and win a ticket to the Falling Walls Conference.

The aim of the Falling Walls Lab is to provide a diverse and interdisciplinary pool of students, researchers, and early-career professionals with a world-class platform that helps them drive their innovations, develops their communication skills, and connects them with each other, creating a global network and impactful and sustainable community of innovators and change makers.

The Falling Walls Lab Sydney will take place on 3 August 2023 at 5:00 pm (AEST).
