The Falling Walls Science Summit 2024 in Berlin once again proved to be a global hub for groundbreaking ideas and transformative discussions. Bringing together leading scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, the summit served as a dynamic platform to explore innovations capable of shaping a brighter future for humanity.

At the heart of the event’s mission lies the drive to “break walls” in science and society by fostering collaboration across disciplines. From revolutionary advancements in artificial intelligence to bold new approaches in sustainability, this year’s summit showcased how collective ingenuity can confront the world’s most pressing challenges.

This year’s event was graced by the presence of esteemed Nobel laureates, including Ferenc Krausz and Alain Aspect, who inspired audiences with their groundbreaking contributions to science. Their participation highlighted the summit’s role as a space where the brightest minds converge to exchange ideas and push boundaries.

Among the attendees was Dorian Brandmüller, a PhD student from the OpNaQ Group at the Institute of Physics, who was nominated for attendance by the prestigious Lindau Alumni network. Brandmüller joined the summit to engage with thought leaders and share insights from his own research. For young researchers like Brandmüller, the summit offers an unparalleled opportunity to network, gain inspiration, and contribute to the global dialogue on innovation.

As the Falling Walls Science Summit continues to grow in prominence, it remains a beacon of hope, uniting brilliant minds to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s breakthroughs.

From mid-December, the train journey from Graz to Villach will be reduced to just over an hour. This faster railway connection through the Koralm Tunnel will also bring the Kanzelhöhe Observatory for Solar and Environmental Research closer. Although this unique research station at 1500 metres above sea level is located on the Carinthian Gerlitzen, it has been part of the University of Graz for more than 75 years.
