Background, Practicalities and Final Agenda
Complex Systems and Changes: Water and life
"Frontiers of Science” event
Life on Earth is based, in its most simple form, on a few key chemical components, and the main one is Water. Water plays a pivotal role in many complex systems studied in the natural sciences. But at the present time, water is also a threatened resource that will pose socio-economic and strategic challenges in the near future.This joint ESF-COST event is dedicated to the link between water and life in all its diversity and complexity.
The following topics were covered:
- origin of life
- water & life in extreme environments
- changes in the anthropocene
- future challenges
