Applications for the third Nordic-Hawaii astrobiology Summer School are due March 15 at 23:59:00 UTC. The course will take place in Iceland from July 1 to 14, 2015.

Participants will receive a high-level introduction into water’s role in the evolution of life in the cosmos, starting from the formation of water molecules in space and ending with the evolution of the first organisms.

The program comprises:
- Lectures by internationally leading scientists covering a broad range of subjects in astrobiology
- An investigation of the colonization of volcanic rocks and glaciers with in situ life detection techniques
- Excursions to geologically and biologically interesting sites (lava caves, new lava fields)
- Two poster sessions for students and early career scientists
