Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons
The Workshop on the Origins and Habitability of the Galilean Moons aims to establish the link between our knowledge of the current natures of Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto, and their conditions of formation. The aim is to prepare for the arrival of the ESA/JUICE and NASA/Europa-Clipper missions in the Jovian system.
