Tartu, Estonia, 6 - 11 August 2018
These are some of the most important astrobiology issues that ORIGINS COST Action addresses. Answering these questions would imply to completely transform our view about human uniqueness and human position in the Universe influencing the search for signs of life within planetary exploration and on exoplanets.
The third edition of the Astrobiology Introductory Course will be held from 4 to 10 March 2018 in the Ornithological Reserve of le Teich (33, France).

Field training school "Early Earth & Life – Archaean/Palaeoproterozoic of Karelia, Russia"
St. Petersburg, Petrozavodsk, 21-31 August 2017
The field school will be a mix of seminars to be held in St. Petersburg and field investigations in Karelia. The geological record of Karelia comprises world-famous volcano-sedimentary successions that have provided key data for the understanding of surface processes on the early Earth. The event is aimed at doctoral students and early career scientists in fields relevant to Precambrian geology, astrobiology and early Earth studies.
Deadline for bursary applications is the 1st May 2017.

It should be explicitely noted that Master students are not eligible for STSMs which are for PhD students and more experienced researchers.
Life-ORIGINS (TD1308) is a Trans Domain European COST Action dedicated to the scientific investigation of the origins and evolution of life on Earth and habitability of other planets.
The Action has specifically excluded the search for intelligent extraterrestrial life in its portfolio. Creationist theorems are also outside the Action’s remit.
Individuals are not allowed to use the name of the Action, its logo or any corporate identity of COST TD1308 in any communication without prior approval of the Management Committee.
