Description
In a nutshell, the SKA Working Group called Cradle of Life aims to understand how the SKA can be
used to observe the earliest stages of the raw material for planet formation, allowing, at the same time, deep
searches for prebiotic molecules (such as amino acids) both within and beyond our solar system. In this
contribution, the preparatory work carried on in the last years by the SKA WG Cradle of Life will be
reported, with a special emphasis on the observations performed at cm-wavelengths in both continuum and
lines. The SKA1 Science Use Cases in the Cradle of Life context will be briefly introduced. The status on
simulations and laboratory experiments will be also outlined.
