Invitation
On behalf of the International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life (ISSOL), we have the
great pleasure to invite all those interested in the scientific aspects of the origin of life and
related issues to attend the 15th International Conference on the Origin of Life scheduled to
take place in Florence, Italy, from 24 to 29 August, 2008.
Because of the multidisciplinary character, the study of the origin and early evolution of life,
the aim of the conference is to discuss and integrate recent discoveries in manifold scientific
fields of exo/astrobiology, including interstellar chemistry, comparative planetology,
Precambrian paleobiology, chemical evolution and prebiotic chemistry, microbial evolution,
genomics, extremophiles, the search for life in the Solar System, as well as historical and
educational aspects related to the origin of life.
We are sure you will enjoy your stay in the city of Florence, the cradle of the Renaissance, and
we are confident that both the scientific and the social programs will ensure a happy and
productive academic exchange.
We wish you all welcome to Florence in 2008.
