Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons

The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons aims to establish the link between our knowledge of the present natures of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, and their formation conditions. The goal is to prepare for the arrival of the ESA/JUICE and NASA/Europa-Clipper missions in the Jovian system. This workshop, held in Aix-en-Provence, France, is the first of a series to be held at 2-3 year intervals before the arrivals of the two missions around Jupiter. The workshops’ locations will alternate between Europe and the US to ensure broad international participation.

The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons will be held at the Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme in Aix-en-Provence. This workshop is hosted by the Institut Origines of Aix-Marseille Université, the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
