About STARMUS Festival

Created by Garik Israelian PhD, astrophysicist at the Institute of Astrophysics of the Canary Islands (IAC) and Sir Brian May PhD, astrophysicist and the lead guitarist of the iconic rock band Queen, Starmus is considered the most ambitious festival of science, art and music that gathers together astronauts, cosmonauts, Nobel Prize winners and prominent figures from various scientific disciplines and musical backgrounds. Starmus has hosted several Apollo astronauts among them Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Alexei Leonov, and Victor Gorbatko. World-known scientists, 30+ Nobel prize winners and space explorers have shared their science from the Starmus stage, among them Stephen Hawking, May-Britt Moser, Emmanuelle Charpentier, Kip Thorne, Elizabeth Blackburn, Donna Strickland, Jill Tarter, Kip Thorne, Robert Wilson, Michel Mayor, Eduard Moser, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox, Tony Fadell, and many other giants of science. Stephen Hawking and Alexei Leonov, together with Starmus co-founders -Garik Israelian and Brian May-, worked to create the Stephen Hawking Medal for Science Communication, awarded to individuals and teams who have made significant contributions to science communication. Previous Stephen Hawking Medal winners include Jane Goodall, Elon Musk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Hans Zimmer, and The Particle Fever documentary.
