Falling Walls Science Summit, November 7-9 in Berlin
Dear all,
GIF is proud to invite you to take part in the Falling Walls Summit from November 7-9, 2024 in Berlin. The Falling Walls Science Summit is one of the leading interdisciplinary science conferences and brings together the world’s most forward-thinking scientists, innovators, and decision-makers. See program highlights below and the full program here.
Together with the Falling Walls Foundation, we would like to strengthen the visibility and impact of Israeli science on the global stage – at a time when some are trying to dim its light. You, as a member of our community, are representative of the cutting-edge research and innovation coming from Israel’s academic institutions.
Please register here to attend the conference using your personal voucher SCSU24_GIF (free 3-day ticket included, no accommodation or travel covered).
Sincerely,
Eric Zimmerman
