The project organized regular visits from researchers from outside the group, with an interest in various perspectives on Life. These visiting researchers interacted with the group and gave seminars (either internal or open to a wider audience). The visiting researchers also became the core of a wider network that is still in operation. By focusing on the latest developments in areas such as synthetic biology, artificial intelligence, astrobiology, medicine, and robotics, as well as foreseeable future developments in these areas, we were able to formulate new questions and hypotheses that will be the basis of future projects.
