The Inter national Academy of Astronautics cr eated a SETI committee in the seventies now established in Per manent Study Group. Its role is to develop studies, establish protocols to be followed by SETI scientists in the detection, analysis, verification, announcement, and response to signals from extraterrestrial civilizations, call for symposia and cooperate with the scientific community worldwide.


Conference Rationale SETI (the "Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence") refers t o the experiments intended to find either radio or optical signals fro m extraterrestrial societ ies situated on planets around other stars. The largest radio telescopes world-wide have occasio nally pursued SETI searches since 1960, in most cases hunting for signals near in frequency to 1420 MHz (the emissio n line o f neutral hydrogen). Optical SETI searches have been pursued since the 1990s. These attempts to detect extraterrestrial signals are called "Passive SETI". In recent years, new kind o f SETI, called "Active SETI", has been discussed by radio astronomers and has actually been attempted in a few cases: it consists of deliberately transmitt ing signals to enhance the probabilit y of making contact with other hypothetica l galact ic techno logical civilizat ions. In addit ion, the discovery since 1995 of more than 400 extrasolar planets makes it clear that both Passive and Active SETI may now be "targeted" towards exoplanets that are situated wit hin habitable zones, further increasing the probabilit y of a SETI success. In conclusion, it is now timely to gather a large conference of experts in SETI, biosignatures, the search for terrestrial exoplanets and related disciplines from all over the glo be to openly discuss the strategies of both Passive and Active SETI. These are the goals o f the "Searching for Life Signatures" Conference that will take place in St. Petersburg, June 27th thru 30th, 2011, in the week just prior to the "ORIGINS" IAU Commissio n 55 Conference that will take place at Montpellier, France, July 3rd thru 8th, 2011.
