What is life? Where, when and how did life arise on Earth? What ingredients were likely present and how were they delivered to Earth? Why and how did life increase in complexity after a period of ~2 billion years of apparently slow evolution? How did the development of life depend on the surface and interior evolution of the (young) Earth? Under what conditions is life possible and is life likely to exist on other planets or celestial bodies?”
The “Origin and Prevalence of Life” Latsis symposium will – from the perspective of modern natural sciences - discuss our current understanding of possible answers to these questions, highlight controversial viewpoints and discuss how they could be reconciled, and help prioritize and coordinate future research activities at the national and international level.
