Microbial World Network: Adapting Earth's Microbes for Lunar Habitats
Welcome to our online event where we explore the fascinating world of microbes and their potential in creating sustainable habitats on the moon. The Moon is no easy home—extreme cold and heat, high radiation and no air. But Earth’s microbes might just hold the key to survival.
Through the Microbial World Network, we’re exploring how extremophiles and resilient microbes could power closed-loop life support systems: producing oxygen, recycling waste, and even generating food for future lunar stations.
We’re calling on astrobiologists, microbiologists, synthetic biologists, planetary scientists, space medicine experts, environmental scientists and citizen science advocates to join us as we delve into the possibilities of utilizing Earth's tiny organisms to adapt and thrive in lunar environments. Discover the latest research, connect with experts, and be part of the conversation on the future of space exploration. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity to learn and engage with like-minded individuals passionate about the microbial world!
We are still accepting abstracts for 30 minute presentation talks until Sept 30th 2025
