For the PRELIFE project, I’m responsible for a series of workshops with PhD candidates and children. Researchers and school kids will develop short animated video clips, which will later be made available on the PRELIFE website and in cinemas across the country.
The PRELIFE Science Shorts filmfestival will take place in 2030.
The origin of life remains one of the greatest mysteries in science. While many theories have been proposed, no single explanation has yet gained universal agreement. That’s where the PRELIFE consortium comes in. PRELIFE unites experts across a wide range of disciplines from astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, earth and planetary sciences, education, mathematics, to physics. Together we will explore two fundamental questions: How did life emerge on Earth, and how common are the conditions elsewhere in the universe?
This project is funded by an NWA grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) and runs from 2025 to 2031.
