As the leading astrobiology university student society, run by students,
for students, at the University of Manchester Astrobiology Society we
are embarked on a mission to spread the word about astrobiology, enrich
the university community by delivering high-quality events and
resources, and create a global network of students and young
professionals that will become the astrobiologists of tomorrow. Ever
since our foundation, we have gone beyond the classic student society
activities by inviting world-renowned researchers, creating a dedicated
careers program, or even organizing the first student-led online
congress at the university. In addition, our innovation team always
ensures that we use the latest tools and technologies to keep thriving
in our ever-evolving world. In this sense, we have developed an
all-in-one website where people interested in astrobiology can discover,
learn and connect. Furthermore, we have also built a global community
using social media, with almost 3000 followers spread over 17 countries.
By leading by example, we want to spark change among student societies
and for them to redefine their boundaries and to achieve bigger. At
AbSciCon 2022 we aim to further pursue this goal, grow our network,
share expertise, and learn from others.
