The objective of BioGeoSciences 2017 (BG-17) is to discuss scientific results achieved in the modeling of processes and environments of Nature, from the small molecular-cellular scales to the enormous astrobiological-cosmological scales. Likewise, it is intended to exchange experiences regarding the training of scientists in the area of Natural and Exact Sciences.
