In her lecture, Ewine van Dishoeck will address questions like: How do stars and planets form? Why are some exoplanets so different from the planets in our own solar system? Which ingredients are available to build them? Can the pre-biotic molecules end up on new planets and form the basis for life elsewhere in the universe?
