EUROPEAN ASTROBIOLOGY NETWORK ASSOCIATION (EANA)

Since, there are several centres of excellence in astrobiology or related fields of research in Europe, there was and is a need that they are co-ordinated to share there expertise and research facilities. This was the main drive for European scientists to organize and create a European Astrobiology Network Association (EANA)  for the scientific benefit and the public in general.
