I hope you’re well, and enjoying the summer.  I’m Amanda, a program assistant for the MIT-Germany program at MISTI (MIT Science and Technology Initiatives).

This fall, MIT-Germany and the German consulate will be hosting the yearly Falling Walls Lab competition.  This pitch competition is open to applicants from all academic disciplines and offers an amazing opportunity to present a current research project, startup idea, or thesis work. The winner of the competition will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Berlin, where they will present at the global Falling Walls Lab Finale and attend the yearly Falling Walls Conference.

This event attracts candidates from across the region, and we are hoping for a strong MIT showing this year!  We would greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word across campus (and beyond).  The Call for Applications is listed below, and can be sent out to your mailing list, along with the event flyer (attached).

Thank you for your consideration; feel free to reach out with any questions!

All the best,
Amanda
