At around 20.30 on Monday evening, the police ended the occupation of the Mechanical Engineering building by around 30 protesters who refused to leave the building voluntarily at closing time. Earlier in the day, the demonstrators were made aware of the closing time and possible consequences, and given the option to continue demonstrating outside. This was not heeded. The camp, which has been set up between the auditorium and the library since last Thursday, has not been removed. The demonstration will continue there, as long as it is peaceful and respectful.

“What is life? How does a living cell emerge from lifeless molecules?” wondered a multidisciplinary team of Dutch scientists. To answer these questions the research team, led by the TU Delft, aims to build a living synthetic cell from lifeless biomolecules, using laboratory evolution and artificial intelligence for the first time. The ten-year research programme to do so, entitled “Evolving life from non-life” or simply “EVOLF”, was awarded 40 million euro by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) as part of the Summit grants scheme.
