The Center for Planetary Systems Habitability (CPSH) is a leading hub for pioneering research in planetary science. We unite experts from a wide range of disciplines, including planetary geology, astrophysics, and biochemistry, to address one of humanity's most profound questions: how and where does life evolve in the universe?
Through interdisciplinary collaboration, CPSH advances our understanding of planetary systems and our place in the cosmos.

CPSH investigates the physical conditions required for life to begin, flourish, and evolve, and which regions of the Milky Way are most habitable for complex life. This critical research not only expands our scientific understanding but also inspires the next generation of space explorers and thinkers.
To continue this groundbreaking work, the Center relies on external support to fund key initiatives not covered by grants. Your contribution will directly support students and postdoctoral researchers through fellowships and travel grants, enabling them to present their findings at international conferences and collaborate with a global network of scientists.

By donating to the Center for Planetary Systems Habitability, you are investing in the future of space exploration. Your support allows CPSH to push the boundaries of knowledge, answering fundamental questions about the universe and our existence. With your help, we can continue to explore new horizons, make groundbreaking discoveries, and inspire a deeper appreciation for life on Earth and beyond.
