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.
Following the success of the 2021-2022 academic year, the EAI Academy starts again in October for the 2022-2023 academic year. The talks will be given by world-renowned experts, who answer the questions raised by the public after their talk.
The seminars are offered for free and are streamed online via zoom every two weeks on Wednesday from 3:00 to 4:00 PM CEST. All seminars will be recorded and available on 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.
