This year the program is devoted to an understanding of the characteristics and diversity of organisms that inhabit Earth¿s extreme environments. These organisms exists at the physical and chemical extreme conditions that life¿s processes on Earth allow. Extreme environments of interest for Astrobiology are, for example, the high-pressure sea floor, the permafrost of the Polar Regions, places with extreme temperatures or salinities, or the acidic rivers with high concentration of metals. Since these environments may be similar to some extraterrestrial environments, understanding how biological processes work under these extreme conditions can help us understand the potential for life to exist beyond our planet.
*ESA Education is offering financial support to European students attending the UIMP Summer School, including funding towards transportation and registration fees. If you are interested please visit www.esa.int/education (under Opportunities - Conferences) for details on how to apply. Student are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.
