Share your idea to win a trip to Berlin, Germany! The Falling Walls Lab Stanford is calling grad students, post-docs, and other young professionals from all fields to present their research project, business plan, or social initiative in just three minutes.

The Falling Walls Lab is an international forum for the next generation of outstanding innovators and creative thinkers. Its aim is to promote exceptional ideas and to connect promising scientists and entrepreneurs from all fields on a global level. Participants get the opportunity to present their research work, business model, or initiative to peers, a high-calibre jury made up of experts from academia and business, and the general public - in three minutes each.

The competition winners will ​travel to Berlin, Germany to participate in the Falling Walls Lab Finale in November, where there will be a chance to win a cash prize. Winners will also gain entrance to the Falling Walls Conference, where leaders from science, industry, and policy-making meet and discuss which walls will fall next in science and society.

Applications and more information can be found here. The application deadline is September 9, 2018. The competition will be held on September 25, 2018.
