We would like to inform you that the
applications to Falling Walls Lab Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions
2022 are now open with a deadline on 21 March 2022 (12h
CET, Brussels time).
For those who do not know it, Falling Walls Lab is a world-wide
pitch competition and networking forum. It provides a stage for break-through
ideas from the worlds of science, business, arts and society. Academic and
research organisations around the world organise their own competitions at local
and regional level under the supervision of Falling Walls Lab. The winners of
each local event meet to compete in the annual Falling Walls Lab Finale in
November.
Our own competition Falling Walls Lab
MSCA will take place on 24 May as part of the MSCA conference
organised in the framework of the French Presidency of the Council of the EU in
cooperation with Université PSL – Paris Science &
Lettres.
Falling Walls Lab MSCA showcases the quality
and diversity of the most innovative minds taking part in MSCA projects. Through
a three minute pitch, participants get the opportunity to present their research
work to peers, a high-calibre jury made up of experts from academia and
business, and to the general public. They also answer questions from the jury
and the audience in a live session. The winner will attend the Falling Walls
Grand Finale and Science Summit in Berlin between 7-9
November.
This year, we are looking for 15
excellent communicators from all disciplines, with exciting research topics,
new ideas and discoveries. Fellows from all Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions are
encouraged to apply. Applicants must be MSCA fellows taking part in an MSCA
project by the deadline (including early-stage and experienced researchers and
staff working in research and innovation from all actions). Participants will
take part in coaching sessions to practise their communication and storytelling
skills in advance of the competition.
The deadline for applications is 21 March 2022, 12h CET.
