Because of the multidisciplinary character, the study of the origin and early evolution of life, the aim of the conference is to discuss and integrate recent discoveries in manifold scientific fields of exo/astrobiology, including interstellar chemistry, comparative planetology, Precambrian paleobiology, chemical evolution and prebiotic chemistry, microbial evolution, genomics, extremophiles, the search for life in the Solar System, as well as historical and educational aspects related to the origin of life.
We are sure you will enjoy your stay in the city of Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, and we are confident that both the scientific and the social programs will ensure a happy and productive academic exchange.
We wish you all welcome to Florence in 2008.
