FOREWORD

Astronomy, the understanding of the Cosmos and humankind’s role in this entity, is the root  of  all science. After nearly 4000 years  of  naked-eye astronomy, Galileo initiated 400 years of  powerful telescopic astronomy followed by 40 years of space astronomy. In each of these periods, gathered information about Universe overcome previous ones. This is a multidisciplinary, crossdisciplinary and interdisciplinary science which could be illustrated by latest development of astrobiology and astrogeophysics, and also a spectacular example of  the acceleration of science.

Among reasons to organize the first Summer School in Astronomy and Geophysics are:

-An increasing number of universities are offering courses of astrogeophysics  as part of combinations within Astronomy and Earth science degrees.

-Lunar exploration is back to the international space exploration  programme, with missions planned by USA, China and India. ESA is also considering lunar missions within the context of both its Cosmic Visions and Aurora programmes. Consequently, Astrogeophysicists will be required as mission scientists and technologists, and for scientific explorations.

With  the First Summer School we wish to give opportunity to students and young researchers to enlarge their knowledge and to obtain information about scientific research in the interdisciplinary topics of Astrobiology and Astrogeophysics.
