I received this announcement from an alumnus friend, who is one of the organizers.
The applications are open for the "Sao Paulo Advanced School of Astrobiology – Making Connections (SPASA 2011)", promoted by the Department of Astronomy of the Universidade de Sao Paulo and by the Sao Paulo Research Foundation (Fapesp), Brazil.
Location: University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil
Date: December 11 -- 20, 2011
Home Page: www.astro.iag.usp.br/~spasa2011
Target audience: Undergraduate, graduate students and early career post-docs in biology, physics, astronomy, chemistry, earth sciences and related areas.
Application Deadline: September 20, 2011, through the event website.
Language: English
Objective: Astrobiology is a multidisciplinary field that aims to study origin, evolution, distribution and future of life on the Universe, with a broad and multidisciplinary scope, requiring a constant dialogue between different areas. This is a new and very promising scientific research field, with the ambitious goal of seeking for answers to some of the most complex scientific questions. The SPASA aims to bring together renowned experts from different countries with students of different fields in a multidisciplinary event that will address some of the general themes of research in astrobiology, as well as more specific topics in the frontier of science that are being developed worldwide. Stimulating the connection between topics and the exchange of knowledge among the participants is the main goal of the event.
Selected participants from all countries will have travel and accommodation expenses covered by the Sao Paulo Research Foundation.
