The Final COST NanoSpace Joint Scientific Meeting will focus on the fundamental and applied research of diverse carbon-based molecular nanostructures — including fullerenes, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and their derivatives — within the broader context of space science and exploration. The meeting will address key questions related to the formation, evolution, properties, and potential applications of these nanocarbon materials under space-relevant conditions.
Discussions will be structured around the major Working Group (WG) topics, and including thematic areas such as: (i) formation and characterization; (ii) space radiation and stability; (iii) astrobiology and planetary science; (iv) applications in space technology; (v) laboratory studies; and vi) catalysis in space, among others. By bringing together experimental, theoretical, and observational perspectives, the meeting aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and consolidate the scientific advances achieved within the COST Action NanoSpace.
This is the Final Joint Action Meeting (in person), focused on the main Action scientific results achieved by the interaction and collaboration among the diversity of disciplines (laboratory astrophysics, theoretical chemistry and physics, astronomy, astrobiology, material science, among others) and researchers (especially from Inclusiveness Target Countries and Young Researchers) of the Action. The program will be composed by scientific sessions separated by WG topic, and short special sessions on the NanoSpace Knowledge Hub, NanoSpace games, and NanoSpace links with industry are also planned.
