Glasgow Science Festival 2026

The question 'Is there life beyond Earth?' has puzzled humanity for millennia, but this can't be answered unless we protect space and preserve it from any interference. Learn about astrobiology and protecting our Solar System with AstrobiologyOU at The Open University.

The astrobiology research group at the Open University participated in the digital Glasgow Science Festival, Science on the Sofa, in 2023. Their videos can be viewed on the GSF YouTube Channel.
