Darwin Day 2025

Life on other planets
The search for habitable planets in other solar systems

Carina Persson, Professor of astrophysics

Wednesday 12 February at 16:15 in Egget, Studentsenteret.
Coffee and refreshments will be served from 15:45.

The first planet in another solar system was discovered in 1995 and immediately raised existential questions: Are we alone? Could humans thrive on other planets? How can we detect life or assess habitability?

The first exoplanet, a planet that orbits another star than our sun, was seen from Earth as late as 1995 by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz and earned them a shared Nobel Prize in Physics. Before their breakthrough, it was believed that all planets and systems would look like our own. But the first planet was an unexpected new type.

Heart Room: From Innovation to Implementation

Innovation in healthcare is increasing. At the same time, large fundamental infrastructures are being replaced so that institutions can adopt new and enabling technology in the future. These changes are often organized as large implementation projects, often far from the daily life in the hospital departments. An exploratory approach to how the new solutions can be adopted and optimized locally often has to be deprioritized in favor of core tasks in a busy everyday life. And the result? Good tools are not fully utilized, and the benefits of digitalization are lost.

Date and Time: February 4, 1:00 PM – 2:30 PM Location: Eitri
