A red sign with white text "WHICH ARE THE NEXT WALLS TO FALL?" stands before a mosaic depicting people and animals, creating a thought-provoking contrast between the sign's message and the artwork's imagery.

A collage shows the "Falling Walls" conference. The top image presents a speaker at a podium, and panelists standing nearby. The bottom image captures a wider view of the conference hall with attendees gathered around a stage.

A panel discussion titled "AI AGE & TRUST: ETHICS AND PERSPECTIVES FOR SCICOMM" is underway in front of an audience. Four speakers stand behind white podiums. Second image shows the audience is seated, with red lighting above.

We were proud to join Falling Walls. Alice Henchley spoke on the panel AI Age & Trust, highlighting the importance of accountability and transparency. During a round table on Science Integrity Chris Graf emphasized collaboration and trust as foundation for progress.

Zu sehen sind Podiumsdiskussionen, Vorträge und Gespräche, darunter mehrere Wissenschaftler:innen auf der Bühne und im Austausch mit dem Publikum. Eine Grafik in der Mitte zeigt den Schriftzug ‚Paris? Climate agreement – Belem‘. Die Aufnahmen zeigen eine lebendige Konferenzatmosphäre mit Diskussionen, Präsentationen und Medieninterviews.

Hier die Helmholtz-Beteiligungen bei #FallingWalls in einem Bild.

Helmholtz war stark beim #FallingWalls Science Summit vertreten! 🎓
Highlight: Ângela Gonçalves (@dkfz.bsky.social, Mitte) wurde als „Breakthrough of the Year 2025“ in der Kategorie Women’s Impact ausgezeichnet. 💡
Zahlreiche Helmholtz-Forschende glänzten in Panels zu Gesundheit, Energie & Klima. 🌍

Ângela Gonçalves on stage of Falling Walls Science Summit presenting a comparison of the number of menstrual cycles in an average western woman and a paleolithic woman. Each additional year of cycling adds a 9.1% risk to endometrial cancer development.

It doesn't stop! 🤩 Session this morning includes major breakthrough of @afilimon.bsky.social on the importance of menstrual blood 🩸 as a marker to test for #endometriosis and the effect of menstrual cycle on cancer development in aging women. ❤️💪🏽🩸 Important work + well deserved winner! #FallingWalls

How do mammalian follicles expel and safe-guard the oocyte upon ovulation? Amazing talk by @schuhlab.bsky.social at the #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit25 on the live visualisation of ovulation 🔬🥚. Hyaluronic acid acts as a hydrogel to induce #expansion and increase pressure in the follicle. 🎉🤩

From #ScienceBreakthrough to #PeatlandBreakthrough - from todays's Roundtable on nature-based solutions at the #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit25 to our joint side event at #COP30. Looking forward to it! @alexbonde.bsky.social @umweltstiftung.bsky.social @greifswaldmoor.bsky.social @succow-stiftung.de

Moore, Wälder und Holzbau: die Natur ist unsere Verbündete beim #Klimaschutz - wenn wir es richtig angehen!

Über #NatureBasedSolutions und funktionierende Geschäftsmodelle bei Emissions-Reduktion und CO2-Bindung diskutierten wir heute beim #FallingWalls Science Summit in Berlin.

Ethics, Science, and the Public The Kavli Foundation is dedicated to advancing science for the benefit of humanity.

At #FallingWalls #ScienceSummit25 in Berlin (Nov 6–9), our Director of Science & Society, Brooke Smith, joins David Spergel & Andrea Frank to discuss Philanthropy & Science: Driving Innovation (on Nov 8). We're also sponsoring 3 "Insights Cafe" sessions.
