The Donostia, Zientzia Hiria programme, organised by the Donostia International Physics Centre (DIPC) and San Telmo Museum as part of its Challenges series, returns to connect science and society from a multidisciplinary perspective. This new edition will be dedicated to the problem of the ‘Origin of Life’ in an attempt to answer, through science and philosophy, the big question of how the transition from an inert world to a living one took place.

On Friday 17 October at 7 pm, the series will host the round table ‘What is life and how does it arise? Dialogues from philosophy and science’, with the participation of Juan Manuel García Ruiz, Ikerbasque professor at the DIPC and one of the world's leading experts in crystallography; Izaskun Jiménez Serra, researcher at the Centre for Astrobiology (CAB, CSIC-INTA) who has just received an ERC Consolidator Grant on the formation and detection of prebiotic organic molecules in the stellar environment; and Kepa Ruiz Mirazo, a researcher at the Biofisika Institute, professor of Philosophy of Science and Philosophy of Complexity at the University of the Basque Country and renowned researcher on the origin of life.

The round table will be in Spanish.

Free admission until full capacity is reached.
