Exploring the Boundaries - the Science of the Extremes

The symposium covered various fields of space research and space exploration, exploration and research of extreme environments on Earth and other planets, and how different living organisms cope and live in extreme environments.

The list of speakers included a NASA astronaut, a submarine captain and a science team member for the Mars Curiosity Rover mission.

Time: May 28, 2013 - May 29, 2014 Location: Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, Stockholm
