A.T. Kearney London invites students, scientists, and innovators to share their research and entrepreneurial ideas at the Falling Walls Lab in London on 20th September 2013. 

The Concept

The Falling Walls Lab offers young academics, professionals, and entrepreneurs a high profile platform to showcase their innovative research to a panel of luminaries from the worlds of academia, research, and business.

The winners of the London Lab will be offered the chance to take part in the final Falling Walls Lab in Berlin, where they will share their innovative ideas with 100 finalists from around the globe. Winners also receive a complimentary entrance to The Falling Walls Conference, the International Conference on Future Breakthroughs in Science and Society.
Last year’s keynote speakers included Chancellor Angela Merkel and other prestigious members.

The catch? You only have three minutes to pitch your idea to the panel - "Dragon’s Den"-style.

Background
The Falling Walls Lab was launched in 2011, a collaboration between The Falling Walls Foundation and A.T. Kearney, to give young scientists and professionals a global platform for their innovative ideas.

Following the successful kick-off in Berlin, the challenging, fast-paced format was expanded to a number of international cities in 2013.

Who Can Apply?
Master students or PhD candidates, young professionals, scientists, or entrepreneurs from all disciplines, under the age of 35, are invited to apply. The Lab is open for participants from all countries. Willing participants will apply their idea and if successful, present at the Falling Walls Lab in London. 

Prize
Being part of the London Lab gives you a high level networking platform, an opportunity to engage and exchange with key decision-makers and like-minded innovators, and a chance to represent your institution on a global stage.

The winners of the qualifying London Lab will be given the opportunity to present their research at the final Falling Walls Lab in Berlin where they will share their winning ideas with 100 finalists from all over the globe.

The prize includes a ticket for the Falling Walls Conference, the International Conference on Future Breakthroughs in Science and Society. Your travel and accommodation costs to Berlin from 8-9th November 2013 will be covered.
