On 11 September 2026, the Falling Walls Lab Münster will take place at REACH. This international pitch competition gives students, early-career researchers, and founders the opportunity to present their ideas in three-minute pitches to a jury and audience.

The most compelling pitches qualify for the global finale of the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin. The event is hosted by the Zukunftslabor (Future Lab) of the University of Münster together with the REACH EUREGIO Start-up Center.

Applications are open to students, PhD candidates, postdocs, early-career professionals, founders, and aspiring entrepreneurs with a connection to a higher education institution from all disciplines. Whether your idea is in engineering, design, social work, business, health, or any other field – we are looking for innovative ideas that break down walls.
