Workshop on Astrochemistry and Astrobiology

The Universidad del Valle is pleased to invite professors, researchers and students to the Workshop on Astrochemistry and Astrobiology: April 23 to 25 at its Faculty of Natural and Exact Sciences.

This event highlights the importance of natural sciences in the development of astrochemistry, astrobiology, and planetary sciences by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and exploring new research avenues. This workshop is also part of the activities of the "2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, proclaimed by UNESCO", underscoring spectroscopy and quantum‑chemistry calculations as essential tools for detecting, characterizing, and modelling molecules in space environments. 

The workshop will feature the participation of national and international professors and researchers, who will share their experiences and advances in these fields. In addition, it will be an opportunity for attendees to learn about the Europlanet platform and the possibilities for carrying out and financing projects in these areas.

Participants

Professors and researchers in biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, education and astronomy interested in astrochemistry, astrobiology and planetary sciences.  

Postgraduate heads in natural sciences and astronomy who wish to learn about new research options.  

Undergraduate and postgraduate students with interest in the topics of the meeting.

Professors and researchers from Colombia and Latin America who wish to share their research experiences in these fields. 

The event aims to strengthen and build a research network in astrochemistry, astrobiology and planetary sciences, encouraging collaboration between different institutions and promoting scientific development in these fields. 

We hope to have your participation in this high-level academic meeting!
