The platform facilitates discourse and commitments around Science Engagement activities, provides visibility to impactful initiatives, and creates opportunities for interdisciplinary and international exchange among practitioners and institutions. By advancing the idea of Science Engagement, Falling Walls Engage aims to diminish the gap between science and society, and strengthen the trust in and understanding of scientific findings to contribute to fact-based decision making and the overall wellbeing of our society.
