Deep Underground Laboratory Integrated Activity in biology (DULIA-bio)

13 Oct 2015, 08:00 → 14 Oct 2015, 14:30 Europe/Zurich

The workshop DULIA-bio (Deep Underground Laboratories Integrated Activities in biology) will take place in Canfranc (Spain) on Oct 13 and 14, 2015. The aim of the workshop is to establish a common path for European underground laboratories in deep life studies and its application to astrobiology. The workshop goals are to spread interest in this research field, put together a new community working in underground laboratories and be the first of a series of meetings to be held in the four deep underground labs in Europe.
