Protoplanetary disks and their physical and chemical processes
The team studies the importance of chemical processing of interstellar organic matter within the protoplanetary disk during its formation and evolution.
Science Fiction as a tool for Astrobiology outreach and Education
The project aims to develop an axis of research on the history and nature of the links between science and fiction, as well as the role of the imagination of
Mars Sample Return
The project aims to support the preparation and realization of the Mars Sample Return (MSR) initiative, focusing on the European contribution for astrobiology aspects and working concurrently with related international
Impacts and their role in the evolution of Planets, Moons and Life
The team will provide an interdisciplinary forum of scientists from different backgrounds It will also explore the potential of impacts as subjects for Science Training, Education and Outreach.
Tracing Life and Identifying Habitable Environments
To pave the way for optimal interpretation of (near)-future findings, the team will aim to identify a common nomenclature by establishing a classification of tracers related to habitability and life.
