摘要

天体生物学研究生会议(AbGradCon)是一个由早期职业研究人员、博士后研究员和学生组织的年度会议,旨在培养下一代天体生物学家,并建立一个强大的团队网络。AbGradCon 2021于2021年9月14日至17日以虚拟方式举行,由东京工业大学地球生命科学研究所(ELSI)主办。由于2019冠状病毒病大流行,2020年的现场活动被推迟。会议包括来自不同领域的120名参与者的演讲,两位主题演讲者,以及其他职业建设活动和研讨会。在这里,我们报告AbGradCon 2021的组织和执行方面,包括会议参与者的人口统计数据,专门为会议的虚拟版本介绍的各种数字方面,以及提交和评估过程。AbGradCon 2021的评估过程是独一无二的,因为所有的评估都是由申请人的同行完成的,而且由于天体生物学本身是一门广泛的学科,评估过程揭示了天体生物学领域多学科性的一些趋势。我们相信,像AbGradCon这样的会议可以为天体生物学的学生和早期职业研究人员提供一个独特的机会,让他们体验社区建设、跨学科和多学科合作以及职业培训,并且在其他领域也会受到欢迎。我们希望本报告为今后在任何具有类似目标的领域组织会议提供启发和基本路线图。

AbGradCon 2021: lessons in digital meetings, international collaboration, and interdisciplinarity in astrobiology
The Astrobiology Graduate Conference (AbGradCon) is an annual conference both organized for and by early-career researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and students as a way to train the next generation of astrobiologists and develop a robust network of cohorts moving forward. AbGradCon 2021 was held virtually on 14-17 September 2021, hosted by the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) of Tokyo Institute of Technology after postponement of the in-person event in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting consisted of presentations by 120 participants from a variety of fields, two keynote speakers, and other career-building events and workshops. Here, we report on the organizational and executional aspects of AbGradCon 2021, including the meeting participant demographics, various digital aspects introduced specifically for a virtual edition of the meeting, and the submission and evaluation process. The evaluation process of AbGradCon 2021 is unique in that all evaluations are done by the peers of the applicants, and as astrobiology is inherently a broad discipline, the evaluation process revealed a number of trends related to multidisciplinarity of the astrobiology field. We believe that meetings like AbGradCon can provide a unique opportunity for students and early career researchers in astrobiology to experience community building, inter- and multidisciplinary collaboration, and career training and would be a welcome sight in other fields as well. We hope that this report provides inspiration and a basic roadmap for organizing future conferences in any field with similar goals.

期刊介绍: International Journal of Astrobiology is the peer-reviewed forum for practitioners in this exciting interdisciplinary field. Coverage includes cosmic prebiotic chemistry, planetary evolution, the search for planetary systems and habitable zones, extremophile biology and experimental simulation of extraterrestrial environments, Mars as an abode of life, life detection in our solar system and beyond, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the history of the science of astrobiology, as well as societal and educational aspects of astrobiology. Occasionally an issue of the journal is devoted to the keynote plenary research papers from an international meeting. A notable feature of the journal is the global distribution of its authors.
