The first European Astrobiology Conference was held in 2001 (the European Workshop on Exo/Astrobiology in Frascati, Italy), leading to the foundation of the EANA network.

In the past years the Space Factor Students Contest was organized during the EANA conferences, bringing together young Astrobiologists in a session dedicated solely to the contest. In addition, EANA awards prizes for the best posters presented by students and young scientists at the annual workshops. The awards website brings together all information on the contest and lists past awardees.
