Falling Walls Engage is looking for its Science Engager of the Year 2019.

Have you developed a new and impactful science engagement format? Do you create opportunities for non-scientists to engage with science? Do you want to increase your international visibility for your organisation's science engagement work, share your experiences, and learn from like-minded people in a co-learning environment?

What are they looking for?

• All forms of science engagement with a focus on impactful, cost-effective, novel approaches to building opportunities for dialogue and participation in science
• Hidden champions from the whole world who pursue scalable projects
• Initiatives with local impact or wider outreach with the potential to become role models for other projects or scientists
• New ways of communication and cooperation with the goal of empowering scientists to engage with public audiences

How to apply

2. Send them a 1-minute application video to engage@falling-walls.com answering these three questions:

   - How do you change the way people engage with science?
   - What surprised you the most in realising your project?
   - Why should they select you?

3. Once you've filled in the application form and sent them your video, they will confirm your application by email.
4. With the help of their Advisory Board they will select the 20 finalists, and all applicants will receive an answer by September.
