This project supports a conference on Experimental Interdisciplinary, and Computational Windows on the Core Concepts of the Origin of Life to be held November 9-13, 2015 at Carnegie Institution of Washington, Washington DC. The relatively small size of the meeting (approximately 100 participants) combined with the proposed 30 scientific talks and poster sessions should ensure that the core aim of the meeting to bring together representatives from diverse scientific disciplines to exchange ideas and approaches to the origins of life should be met. An effort has been made to broaden participation to young scientists including females and minorities. A public lecture by one speaker will be offered as part of the Carnegie public lecture series. Conference delegates will discuss narratives focused around five integrative themes that explore the concrete and abstract dimensions of origins, the connections to planetary context and biological evolution and ecology, the roles of modeling and computation, and the relation of biological theory to fundamental principles governing order in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering.

该项目支持将于2015年11月9日至13日在华盛顿卡内基研究所举行的关于生命起源核心概念的实验跨学科和计算窗口会议。会议规模相对较小（约100名与会者），加上拟议的30场科学讲座和海报展示会，应能确保会议的核心目标-汇集来自不同科学学科的代表，交流关于生命起源的想法和方法-得以实现。已努力扩大青年科学家，包括女性和少数民族的参与。 作为卡内基公开讲座系列的一部分，将提供一位演讲者的公开讲座。会议代表将讨论围绕五个综合主题的叙述，探索起源的具体和抽象维度，与行星背景和生物进化和生态学的联系，建模和计算的作用，以及生物理论与物理，化学，数学和工程中基本原则的关系。
