This video features a recording of the Falling Walls Circle session “Backing Wild Ideas: HEIs, Research & Innovation in Europe” held during the Falling Walls Science Summit 2025 in Berlin.

Europe can only become a global innovation leader by improving the translation of fundamental research into breakthrough solutions. This session brings together experts from higher education institutions, research initiatives, and innovation agencies to discuss how strategic funding, talent development, and support for “wild ideas” – high-risk, high-reward research – can drive entrepreneurship, generate spin-offs, and maximize societal impact across Europe.

Supported by the EIT Higher Education Initiative and the Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIND)
