28.07.2010 Towards a scientific and societal agenda on extra-terrestrial life

Start Time: 9.00am
Start Date: 04 October 2010
End Date: 05 October 2010
End Time: 6.00pm
Venue: Kavli Royal Society Centre

Organised by Dr Martin Dominik and Professor John Zarnecki  

Should extra-terrestrial life exist, upcoming efforts will provide living generations with a realistic chance of its detection. Even more than the scientific agenda, a corresponding complementary societal agenda needs to be debated. With a mix of invited talks and panel debates, we particularly look into the detection of life, the communication with potential extra-terrestrial civilizations, the implications for the future of humanity, and the political processes that are required.

Registration: This satellite meeting is free to attend, however, participants will need to cover their accommodation and catering costs. If you are interested in participating at this event, please email discussion.meetings@royalsociety.org
