4th IAA Symposium on SEARCHING FOR LIFE SIGNATURES
SETI San Marino
Republic of San Marino (Italy), Kursaal Congress Centre September 25th-28th, 2012
The International Academy of Astronautics created a SETI Committee in the seventies now established in SETI Permanent Committee. Its role is to develop studies, establish protocols to be followed by SETI scientists in the detection, analysis, verification, announcement, and response to signals from extraterrestrial civilizations, call for symposia and cooperate with the scientific community worldwide.
CONFERENCE RATIONALE SETI (the “Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence”) refers to the experiments intended to find either radio or optical signals from extraterrestrial societies situated on planets around other stars.
The largest radio telescopes world-wide have pursued SETI searches since 1960, in most cases hunting for signals.
In addition, the discovery since 1995 of many extrasolar planets makes it clear that both Passive and Active SETI may now be “targeted” towards exoplanets that are situated within habitable zones, further increasing the probability of a SETI success.
In conclusion, it is now timely to gather a large conference of experts in SETI, biosignatures, the search for terrestrial exoplanets and related disciplines from all over the globe to openly discuss the strategies of both Passive and Active SETI.
These are the goals of the “Searching for Life Signatures” Conference that will take place at the Kursaal Conference Centre in San Marino Republic (Italy), Sept. 25th thru 28th, 2012, in the week just prior to the 63rd IAC (International Astronautical Congress) that will take place at Naples (Napoli), Italy, October 1st thru 5th, 2012.
