The purpose of this Astrobiology meeting is to bring together people from the Nordic countries in
general and Sweden in particular. There will be time for formal presentation and plenty of time for discussion. The meeting is organized jointly with the Swedish Astrobiology Network (SWAN).
In addition, a SWAN business meeting is planned for Tuesday, 6 November, 12:30-13:50, in the small
seminar room at Nordita. Many of us will bring their lunch to the meeting.
You may also bring it on a tray from the canteen.
How to get here?

Local organizing committee: Axel Brandenburg (chair), Nils Holm, Raphael Plasson, Anthony Poole
Limited support for travel subsistence is available. Please email Axel Brandenburg for details.
