Aarhus University Network for Artificial Biology (AUNAB) - AUNAB is an Interdisciplinary Research Network funded by Faculty of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University to promote the exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers from different departments, support the coordination and knowledge exchange with respect to academic and/or strategic initiatives and provide an inviting and stimulating platform for young researchers and new faculty at AU on the topic on Artificial Biology.
Origins of Life Initiative Munich (OLIM) - OLIM (lat. 'formerly'; 'once') is a Munich network to explore the origins of evolution. The aim is to find experimental facts that unveil the first steps that allowed molecules to evolve autonomously into living systems. We want to reconstruct these first steps in the lab, using experiments to bridge from dead molecules to the living state of matter.
Heidelberg Origins of Life Initiative (HIFOL) - The Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy (MPIA), together with the Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), the Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies (HITS) and the University of Heidelberg, has just established HIFOL - the new Heidelberg Initiative for the Origins of Life. HIFOL brings together top researchers from astrophysics, geosciences, chemistry, and life sciences to foster, strengthen and bundle scientific efforts to unravel one of the most challenging mysteries in the universe: what are the conditions for the origin of life?
