The search for truth
17-22 October 2026
Tenerife & La Palma, Canary Islands, Spain
Ten years after the historic 2016 edition, Starmus returns to Tenerife — at the request of the Canary Islands Regional Government and the Cabildo de Tenerife — marking a decade since the first Hawking Medal ceremony was held here. Now we come back to where that legacy began.
La Palma has always been a heart of Starmus — where humanity looks to the stars under some of the clearest skies on Earth. The Canary Islands are not simply a host. They are part of the Starmus story.
At Starmus VIII, we also introduce the Jane Goodall EARTH Medal — dedicated to planetary stewardship and the protection of life on Earth. Together, these recognitions reflect the full mission of Starmus: to explore the universe — and to protect our home within it.
