Description
During last years Astrobiology Graduate School
kick-off meeting on 16 October the lack of inter-departmental
collaboration was identified as an important shortcoming and it was
decided that we should work on this. During the last faculty meeting on 10
December a working group was assembled consisting of Bitte, Nils, Wolf,
Garrelt, and Henrik. The purpose of this group is to plan and organize
an overnight meeting of all participants associated in a broad sense with
the graduate school. The meeting will consist of two plenary sessions and
of several sessions for group work. The size of a group could be anywhere
between 2 and 7 or so, and it would consist of people from at least two
different departments. The aim of each group is to work out a research
topic that is clearly relevant to astrobiology, and could potentially
lead to a publication in one of the astrobiology main-stream journals.
The days Thursday-Friday have been deemed optimal for most of us.

at 10 am. So, the schedule would be something like this:
