ASTROBIOLOGY LECTURE COURSE NETWORK
This lecture course has now been completed - all lectures available as video on-demand
The full expertise in Astrobiology is not always available in one place or at a single university. To overcome this problem, experts from the different fields of Astrobiology in several universities and at ESA agreed to gather in an Astrobiology Lecture Course Network where lectures were given in turn by the universities involved and by ESA. These lectures are transmitted to the participating students at other places through videoconference and streaming Internet video, making use of the communication infrastructure, tools and experts of the Virtual Campus of the Erasmus Centre. The lectures are also video-recorded and are made available on the ESA Human Spaceflight website as video-on-demand files. The lectures are part of the curriculum of the students of the participating universities. Consequently, they are completed with an exam and provided the usual credit points for their studies.
