2. The following call can be checked out at this link:

A project in geology with astrobiology implications. The project can:

• follow the Master’s thesis if related to the geo-theme
• be written following the topics of interest listed in the announcement of the 40^th cycle (link above)
• be written from scratch following the usual project style (state-of-the-art, methodology, objectives, and impact)
