Falling Walls Science Summit 2025

Breakthroughs with Deep-Ultraviolet Light Technologies

Falling Walls Science Summit 2025 | November 6–9 | Berlin & Online

The Falling Walls Science Summit once again gathers the world’s brightest minds to explore the question: What are the next walls to fall in science and society?

This year’s summit brings together leading researchers, innovators, and policymakers from across the globe to showcase breakthrough ideas shaping the future of science and technology. Among the highlights is a session on deep-ultraviolet (DUV) light technologies based on aluminium nitride — a field opening new frontiers in photonics. The development of efficient continuous-wave DUV light sources at room temperature marks a milestone with far-reaching potential across environmental sensing, precision manufacturing, healthcare, and sustainability.

The session features several renowned experts, including Åsa Haglund (Chalmers University of Technology), Tanja Mehlstäubler (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt), Martina Meinke (Charité – Advisory Board Member, Advanced UV for Life), and Michael Kneissl (Technische Universität Berlin – Board Member, Advanced UV for Life).

Advanced UV for Life is proud to see its members actively contributing to one of the world’s leading platforms for scientific exchange and innovation. Their participation underscores the network’s strong commitment to advancing ultraviolet technologies and bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical applications.

The Falling Walls Science Summit, organized by the Falling Walls Foundation, commemorates the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 — symbolizing the breaking down of barriers in science, society, and beyond.

The Deep-UV session is made available by kind sponsoring of Berthold Leibinger Stiftung GmbH.
