What do life's origins tell us about life's future? The future of life - Nobel Week Dialogue 2022

Panel discussion on life’s origins and future at the Nobel Week Dialogue 2022

The question of “What do life's origins tell us about life's future?” is discussed by Paola Caselli, Professor at the Max Plank Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, Andrea Ghez, Nobel Prize laureate in physics 2020, Benjamin List, Nobel Prize laureate in chemistry 2022, Paul Nurse, Nobel Prize laureate in physiology or medicine 2001, and Didier Queloz, Nobel Prize laureate in physics 2019.

At the 2022 Nobel Week Dialogue we looked towards our future in the hope of making life better, for everyone.

What do we hope for, what matters in life, what does a better future look like, and how far into that future should we be looking? By envisaging future scenarios, discussing how we want life to be in years to come and putting our imagination to work, we might influence the decisions we make now.

The Nobel Week Dialogue is an annual public conference bringing together a select group of the world's leading scientists, policy-makers and thinkers for a series of thought-provoking sessions on a topical science-related theme. With this event the Nobel Institutions aim to deepen the dialogue between the scientific community and the rest of society on issues connected with the Nobel Prize and of importance for the world.

Nobel Week Dialogue was produced by Nobel Prize Outreach in partnership with Carl Bennet AB, City of Gothenburg, Region Västra Götaland, Volvo.
