Does your research break down barriers in some way? Are you helping to create positive outcomes for science and society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, you might want to check out the Falling Walls<\/strong><\/a> competition. This is a global event inspired by the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989, with the question: Which walls will fall next? It is designed to uplift and celebrate student and early career researchers and innovators from any discipline who are working to (metaphorically) break down walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NZ entrants will give a 3-minute presentation detailing their barrier-breaking work. The winning presentation will represent Aotearoa and travel to the Falling Walls Lab Global Finale<\/a> held in Berlin, Germany on 7 November,\u00a0where they can meet some of the brightest thinkers in the world and compete to become the Breakthrough Winner of the Year in the Emerging Talents category of Falling Walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Former AUT doctoral student Ankita Poudyal (pictured below) previously won the Falling Walls Aotearoa competition, and went on to come 3rd<\/a> in the world finals in Berlin! You can read about her experiences<\/a> and her groundbreaking research on nano-coatings for air filters here on Thesislink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Aotearoa part of the competition is organised by the Royal Society. Check out their website<\/a> for details of how to enter and be sure to get your entry in by noon on 31 May<\/strong> for the competition date of 11 September. <\/p>\n\n\n
