The Naukas Bilbao Inicios event, held at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, explored the great beginnings studied by science, including the origin of water.

The Naukas Bilbao Inicios event, held on Saturday, September 19, 2026, at the Euskalduna Palace in Bilbao, focused on the major beginnings studied by science. Unlike previous editions where each talk covered an independent topic, this year all interventions shared a common thread: the great beginnings of history, offering the audience a global perspective on these scientific beginnings.
Naukas Bilbao Inicios is part of the scientific outreach festival Bilbo Zientzia Plaza 2026 (BZP).
The beginning of the Solar System was also a topic, approached by tracking the movements of a crucial molecule: water. This was presented by Naiara Barrado Izagirre, a professor at the University of the Basque Country / Euskal Herriko Unibersitatea and a researcher at the Planetary Science Group.
The video begins with this referenced talk, covering the entire morning session. The editing was done by César Tomé López.
