You are invited to participate in the General Assembly of the European Astrobiology Institute.

The General Assembly will run under the heading “Astrobiology: Recent Highlights and Future Key questions”.
It will take place from 4^th June 2024 in the morning to 6^th June 2024 in the evening at the Hessenpark Open Air Museum close to Frankfurt (Germany). Its main aim is to present past highlights of European Astrobiology and, especially detailed planning of the activities of the EAI’s Working Groups. The General Assembly will be held as a hybrid event with the possibility for online participation, although in the pursuit to foster fruitful discussion about future projects and initiatives of the EAI, physical presence is encouraged. The venue is inexpensive and easy to reach – there are many flights going to Frankfurt from lots of airports 

The General Assembly is open to interested scientists and students, We will also provide a limited number of bursaries for students and early career scientists covering single accommodation in the course venue or a hotel nearby and meals during the stay at the meeting. If you want to apply for a bursary please send in an abstract for a talk using the abstract form and inform us in the email that you are applying for a bursary.  

No registration fee is charged for attending the General Assembly.

The different Working Groups have identified several key subjects inside its area which it should have a special focus on for the next 2-3 years. At the General Assembly, those subjects will be discussed in detail. About half a day of the General Assembly will be devoted to each Working Group to discuss these themes in detail. These sessions will not only contain scientific talks but also ample time for discussions.  

The business meeting of the EAI will be held on the last evening. There will also be time to discuss plans for public engagement, media work, training, industry liaisons etc. Also, break-out sessions to discuss proposals (COST Actions, ERC Joint Projects. ISSI teams, ITN Networks) can be arranged.

The deadline of registration and abstract submission is 15^th April 2024. If you want to apply for a bursary please mention it in the email. Recipients of bursaries which cover accommodation and meals will be notified in due course.
