Summer School for Sample Return

This summer school, run by the Institut Origines at Aix-Marseille University and the Origins theme from the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, will provide a unique platform to access both basic and cutting-edge knowledge related to the study of the origin of terrestrial planets and life based on the analysis of extraterrestrial samples in Earth laboratories.

There will be a particular focus on recent and future sample return missions. This multidisciplinary summer school will address domains including cosmochemistry, astrobiology, astrophysics, planetology, and more. You will learn through lectures and practicals from our large set of world experts as well as from more informal exchanges through a series of round tables with dedicated topics.

When: 24-28 June 2023
Where: Observatoire Haute-Provence, France

Workshop: Earth and Planets Origin and Evolution

Registration and abstract submission are now open for the workshop on the formation and evolution of Earth and of the terrestrial planets, which will take place at the Natural History Museum in Paris on May 13-17, 2024.

>> Deadline for registering: February 15th <<

Summer school Exoplanets by the Lake II: Geoastronomy

Exoplanets by the Lake II: Geoastronomy is a focused summer school on the geosciences of exoplanets at Lake Ammer (Ammersee), July 21—26 2024.

The distinctive features of the summer school include:

  • Emphasis on in-person interaction at an attractive, self-contained venue with at most 20 participants. The number of participants is kept small in order to encourage unrestricted, interactive discussions among exoplanet scientists of all sub-disciplines and seniority.
  • The event will be held for 5.5 days (5 nights). The first 3 weekdays involve pedagogical lectures during the day. There is an optional half-day excursion, via ship on the lake. The last 2 days feature a mini-conference format, where a small number of invited experts share their views and interact with the participants. Participants have the chance to contribute short talks if desired.


The intended audience of this summer school ranges from master students to junior postdocs. Both experts and curious newcomers to the topic are welcome to attend. Senior scientists who are intending to switch research directions and/or attending as active listeners are also welcome.

>> Deadline for registering: March 31st <<

Nuclear astrochemistry workshop

The first meeting on Nuclear astrochemistry is being held under the auspices of the European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*) in Trento (Italy) from February 26th to March 1st.

This brings meeting together disparate fields of nuclear physics with the rapidly emerging field of astrochemistry to explore the processes of star formation (and death) and planet formation and how they create the conditions that may allow life to evolve and be sustained. In the workshop, the first of its kind, we will bring together leading experts in these fields together with early career researchers who will develop this new field through observations (using JWST), theoretical models and simulations, and laboratory studies (including meteorites) to address the fundamental questions of how the elements and molecules of life are created in the universe and the consequences for the search for life beyond Earth and our solar system.

There’s funding available for both senior and Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to attend the meeting with meals and accommodation included at the ECT  Villa Tambosi in Trento Italy. All ECRs are invited to present a talk at the meeting and participate in discussions leading to future initiatives for interdisciplinary projects.

>> Deadline for registering: January 31st <<

Webinar on how to apply for US National Science Foundation grants (all career stages)

The Earth Science Women’s Network will be hosting a webinar later this month that might be of interest to you:
a virtual workshop on Monday, January 22nd 2024, at 8:00-9:30 PM CET!

Get your questions answered by US National Science Foundation Program Officers!

How can you craft a strong proposal?
What makes a strong Broader Impact?
How do you find a program that fits your work?
This virtual workshop is open to all and will be particularly helpful to early-career to mid-career participants, especially graduate students, post-docs, researchers, and tenure-track faculty thinking about applying for NSF funding for the first time.

Registrations open for RED24 – An Astrobiology Introductory Course

The 2024 edition of the Rencontres Exobiologiques pour Doctorants  (RED’24 / Astrobiology Introductory Course) will take place from March 17 to 23, 2024 at the Reserve Ornithologique du Teich (France).

Its aim is to offer interdisciplinary training in astrobiology to students and young scientists with a Master’s degree in astronomy, planetology, geology, chemistry, biology, or the history and philosophy of science.

Thanks to the support of the school’s partners, they will be able to cover almost all registration costs. Participants will only have to pay for their own transport.

Lectures will be held in English.

>> Registrations are open until January 16th, 2024 <<
