The Josep Comas i Solà International Summer School in Astrobiology is co-directed by the NASA Astrobiology Program and the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB), INTA-CSIC, at the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (UIMP), sponsored by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA) and European Space Agency (ESA) Academy.

A week-long program for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows provides lectures from international experts, round- table discussions, student projects and presentations, a whole-day field excursion to a nearby site of astrobiological interest, and cultural activities provided by the hosting university. This program forges new relationships and helps build international collaboration in astrobiology.
