The EAI Academy

The EAI ACADEMY is an international educational program broadcasted by the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB, CSIC-INTA), Madrid. It provides a framework to meet online with the European astrobiology community and to acquire interdisciplinary knowledge through a series of seminars given by experts in these fields.

EAI Academy with title

The Academy audience connects from more than 32 countries and all continents, with an average participation of 120 attendees per seminar. Past editions are accesible through the CAB youtube channel (CAB website 2021-2022, 2022-2023).

The EAI Academy program for the academic year 2023-2024 started on October 4th 2023. The seminars are offered for free and are streamed online via zoom every two weeks on Wednesday from 3:00 to 4:00 PM CET (Madrid time).

The talks will be given by world-renowned experts, who answer the questions raised by the public after their talk. All seminars will be recorded for future availability in the CAB youtube channel and the EAI Youtube Channel At the end of the academic year, CAB awards a certificate of participation to those who attend at least 10 seminars.

In order for us to keep track of the attendance, you will need to enter your name and affiliation in the seminar chat when you enter the room (Zoom).
