Il Coraggio di Sognare
The Courage to Dream series
We Are All Stardust from the stars and exoplanets
to humanity’s future in space
A talk by
Dr. Gioia Rau
cross-sector space leader and astrophysicist
What links the heart of a star to the calcium in our bones, the technologies we use every day, and the major decisions we make about space? In this talk, Dr. Gioia Rau takes us on a journey from the most evolved stars, where chemical elements are born, to the new frontiers of space exploration: from the largest telescopes on Earth and in space, to AI, the Moon, and beyond. Drawing on her experience across fundamental research, U.S. scientific institutions, and global philanthropy, Dr. Rau will discuss how space is transforming the economy, space diplomacy, and our future – and why, truly, “we are all stardust”.
Dr. Gioia Rau is cross-sector space leader and astrophysicist, working at the intersection of space science, space exploration, strategy, and AI. She serves as Program Director and has built major portfolios in astrophysics, space, and AI. In research, she leads teams working on space mission concepts, stellar astrophysics, exoplanets, and AI applied to astrophysics. She is also an active voice in space diplomacy, policy, and the future of space exploration, and a sought-after keynote speaker.
