KAUST is once again honored to be one of the world’s select universities to participate in the annual Falling Walls competition. Falling Walls Lab 2017 is looking for innovators to present their research, business, entrepreneurial or social initiatives. Presentations will be made before a panel of world-renowned judges and must be completed in three minutes.
At KAUST, we will hold our campus competition on September 19 and award prizes to five finalists, with up to three winners receiving an invitation for an all-expense paid trip to Berlin for the international competition on November 8 and 9. The contest is open to all KAUST community members, so if you are a student, postdoctoral fellow, professional, scientist, entrepreneur or anyone else who has a vision of how to change the world, this is your chance!
