During 20 years, the European astrobiologists collaborated within EANA, the European Astrobiology Network Association, to help European researchers developing astrobiology programmes to share their knowledge, to foster their cooperation, to attract young scientists to this quickly evolving interactive field of research, and to explain astrobiology to the public at large. The experiment of Stanley Miller in 1953 launched the ambitious hope that chemists would be able to shed light on the origins of life by recreating a simple life form in a test tube. However, the dream has not yet been accomplished, despite the great volume of effort and innovation put forward by the scientific community.

在 20 年间，欧洲天体生物学家与欧洲天体生物学网络协会 EANA 合作，帮助欧洲研究人员开发天体生物学计划，分享他们的知识，促进他们的合作，吸引年轻科学家进入这个快速发展的互动研究领域，并解释向广大公众介绍天体生物学。斯坦利·米勒在 1953 年的实验引发了雄心勃勃的希望，即化学家能够通过在试管中重建一种简单的生命形式来阐明生命的起源。然而，尽管科学界付出了巨大的努力和创新，梦想仍未实现。
