The European AstRoMap project (supported by the European Commission Seventh Framework Programme)
surveyed the state of the art of astrobiology in Europe and beyond and produced the first European roadmap for
astrobiology research. In the context of this roadmap, astrobiology is understood as the study of the origin,
evolution, and distribution of life in the context of cosmic evolution; this includes habitability in the Solar
System and beyond. The AstRoMap Roadmap identifies five research topics, specifies several key scientific
objectives for each topic, and suggests ways to achieve all the objectives. The five AstRoMap Research Topics are
It is strongly recommended that steps be taken towards the definition and implementation of a European
Astrobiology Platform (or Institute) to streamline and optimize the scientific return by using a coordinated
infrastructure and funding system. Key Words: Astrobiology roadmap—Europe—Origin and evolution of
life—Habitability—Life detection—Life in extreme environments. Astrobiology 16, 201–243.
