Welcome

The purpose of Astrochemistry.eu is to foster, broaden, and enhance the understanding of astrophysics and astrochemistry in its various forms like observations, laboratory and theoretical investigations. In addition this site informs about conferences, symposia, seminars, other fora and special courses on the subject. Astrochemistry.eu is an attempt to promote collaborations across the world, helping those in smaller, new or isolated research groups. General links to important databases or other sources of valuable information are given.
