Registration

There will be no registration fee associated with the attendance and participation in the Biosignatures of Extant Life on Ocean Worlds (BELOW) Workshop. To better prepare for your attendance we do ask that you register online at the following link:

Here you will be able to indicate your days of attendance as well as your area of interest. Your registration also initiates the visitor’s badge request you will need to gain access to the NASA Goddard campus.

Please note: Your workshop registration does not guarantee your access to the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center campus. Campus security has the final authority to approve or reject in visitor’s badge application.
