AAW (Antarctic Astrobiology and Astrobiology Workshop)

The Antarctic Astrobiology and Astrobiology Workshop (AAW) is a scientific conference focused on studying life’s origins, existence, and resilience in extreme environments, particularly in Antarctica. Researchers gather to share findings about how microorganisms survive in icy, harsh conditions that resemble those on other planets or moons. By understanding these resilient life forms and their ecosystems, scientists gain insights into the possibility of life beyond Earth and develop techniques for future space exploration. The workshop promotes collaboration among scientists from various fields to advance our knowledge of astrobiology and the potential for extraterrestrial life.
