Program
- 10:30 - 10:35 Opening
- 10:35 - 10:50 Sergio Rubin Models and Simulations of the Living forms
- 10: 50 - 11:10 Carla Alejandre Towards a mechanism of RNA polymerization and non-enzymatic replication in the early Earth: a theoretical-computational approach
- 11:10 - 11:30 Marina Fernández Ruz Autocatalytic chemical networks in artificial protocells

About
The workshop will focus on life-like forms created in laboratory using chemical and biochemical materials.
Topics:
- Wet artificial life
- Synthetic biology
- Origin of life
- Protocells
- Droplets
- Chemobrionics
- Messy chemistry
- and others
The aim of the workshop is to bring together researchers interested in wet artificial life, namely chemists, physicists, biologists. Further, it is expected that computer scientists performing mathematical simulations of life-like phenomena in chemical systems and experts from robotic field that build the platforms for laboratory experiments automatization will participate as well.
Panel Discussion
Please submit your questions for the panel discussion "Shaping the Future: Key Research Questions and Expectations," which will be part of the workshop.
