Name:Life and Its Origins
Description:What is life and what are the definitions of life? What do we know about the origin of life and what are the current hypotheses for how it originated on the Earth?
Name:Life on Earth
Description:What was the environment of early Earth like when life first emerged and what do we know about life on the earliest Earth? How did life evolve to cope with survival in extreme environments? What have been the major evolutionary transitions of life on the Earth?
Name:Habitable Environments Elsewhere in our Solar System?
Description:What are the prospects for life on other planetary bodies in our Solar System and how do we go about searching for it? What conditions are required for a planet to be habitable?
Name:The Search for Habitable Exoplanets
Description: How do we search for Earth-like planets orbiting distant stars and how would we detect life on them?
Name:Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Description:What are the possibilities for intelligent life elsewhere? How would we deal with contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence and what would be the impact on society? Who would represent Earth?
