Our Institute organizes an Internationally-renowned Summer school for Masters and PhD students, as well as early-career scientists, every year during the summer, usually between late June and mid-July.
Join a unique summer school co-organized by the Origins Institute at Aix-Marseille University and the Origins theme of the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris. This interdisciplinary program offers both foundational and cutting-edge insights into the formation and evolution of the inner Solar System, with a focus on terrestrial planets and the asteroid belt. Through a dynamic blend of lectures by renowned experts and interactive roundtable discussions, participants will explore key topics such as cosmochemistry, planetary dynamics, disk processes, impacts, and surface composition. This is your opportunity to engage with leading scientists, deepen your understanding, and contribute to the conversation about our
Solar System’s origins.
FEES : 800€TTC
Deadline postponed to february 15

The third OHP (Observatoire de Haute-Provence) International Summer School, organized by Aix-Marseille University's Institut Origines, will explore the notion of life, from its definition to the conditions of its emergence, diversity and evolution. These fundamental questions will be addressed through lectures given by internationally renowned experts in prebiotic chemistry, microbiology, exobiology, planetology, astrophysics, as well as philosophy and law. These lectures will be followed by round-table discussions moderated by an award-winning science journalist, as well as plenty of free time for exchanges between participants.
The program will offer a broad, interdisciplinary view of the frontiers of life, reviewing current knowledge and competing theories, and covering all spatial and temporal scales.
In addition to stimulating individual reflection on the definition of life, this Summer school also aims to attract young scientists to this multifaceted field of research.

This Summer school, organized by the Institut Origines of Aix-Marseille University and the Origins theme of the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, will offer a unique platform for accessing both basic and cutting-edge knowledge related to the study of the origin of telluric planets and life, based on the analysis of extraterrestrial samples in terrestrial laboratories. Particular emphasis will be placed on recent and future sample return missions. This multidisciplinary Summer school will cover fields such as cosmochemistry, astrobiology, astrophysics, planetology, and much more. We'll learn through lectures and hands-on work led by a wide range of world experts, as well as through more informal exchanges at round tables on dedicated themes.

The 2024 Institut Origines' Summer school on sample returns, in partnership with the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, took place from June 24 to 28, 2024 at the Observatoire de Haute Provence - OSU Institut Pythéas.
A successful format for both speakers and students, with the support of CNES.
Many thanks to OHP director Marc Ferrari for welcoming us, and to the entire OHP team for their support (Nathalie Desmons & Anne-Marie Galliano), Luc Favre for handling the telescope, UNISTELLAR & Laurent Marfisi for hosting the event.
Organized by the Institut Origines of the University of Aix-Marseille, this Summer school will offer a unique platform to access both basic knowledge and cutting-edge research in the various scientific fields related to the study of the moons of the Solar System. Areas covered include cosmochemistry, space physics, astrobiology, geophysics, geology, Training, and much more. We'll learn through lectures and hands-on work led by our lecturers, as well as through discussions and a series of student presentations as part of the student conference.
