About the organics in space symposium
The Symposium on Genesis and Evolution of Organics in Space is a multidisciplinary event aimed at exploring the molecular origins of life, both on Earth and in space. This initiative brings together experts from various scientific fields, including atomic and molecular physics, astrochemistry, planetary science, and space technology, to foster collaboration and advance research on organic molecules in space. It is expected that this initiative will lead to a coordinated, multidisciplinary, and pan-India theme of “Organics in Space” and help us take on bigger and more challenging activities in a collaborative manner while increasing the visibility of the said field, especially to enhance funding opportunities and support infrastructure. It is also expected that this effort will culminate in to proposals for future space payloads/missions to explore the molecular origin of life.

Climbs of First symposium
The Ist symposium on Genesis and evolution of organics in space was held at IIST from 18th to 20th January 2024. The symposium was being held as a part of an effort to develop a National research framework to explore the origin and evolution of organic matter in astrophysical environments. This was a collective effort of members from the Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMP) community and certain allied areas of interest in Astronomy, Astrochemistry, planetary science, space technology, etc.
