Showcase your research at the Falling Walls Lab MSCA 2025 pitch competitions

06/05/2025

The European Commission is looking for 18 science communicators across disciplines who are keen to compete against other selected MSCA fellows through 3-minute pitches. During short speeches, fellows must explain how their research breaks down the boundaries between the world of science and society.

This year's event will take place on 18 and 19 September in Lyngby, Denmark, on the occasion of the MSCA Presidential Conference.

This year the competition is divided into two streams: the first variant is the Falling Walls Lab, which is for junior researchers. The second option is Falling Labs Venture, where research-based start-ups will compete against each other.

The top-ranked participants will have the opportunity to attend the final event in Berlin.

The deadline for applications is 18 May 2025 at 12:00 CET.
