Life in the Universe: From the Laboratory to Distant Planets

In the organizer's words:

Are we alone in the universe? This question has always fascinated people. Now we can approach it in a scientific way. The atmospheres of newly discovered planets in the Milky Way can be examined for signs of life. At the same time, new techniques in laboratory experiments allow us to find out how life on Earth came about. Advances in space technology could make it possible to travel to planets orbiting other stars.
