Creators, innovators and entrepreneurs of the University of Cape Town are invited to present their ideas at the international Falling Walls Lab, a unique platform for young innovators in science, technology, medicine, and other fields:
Students, early-career researchers and entrepreneurs will get three minutes to pitch their groundbreaking ideas on 22 September at the New Lecture Theatre on upper campus. These ideas include solutions to some of the most pressing challenges of today.

The first prize comprises R15 000 and the chance to present their ideas to an international audience at the Falling Walls Science Summit in Berlin later this year. The second prize will award R12 000 and the third R10 000.
During their stay in Berlin, the international lab winners will participate in an exclusive programme that includes workshops on career development, entrepreneurial skills, and academic publishing.Applications close on 9 August.
