Results from MarCyan Project (Marie Curie fellowship)

Abstract

This repository record makes available a set of preliminary reports produced within the framework of the EU-funded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions project MarCyan — Extremophile cyanobacteria as life supporters for Mars colonization, funded under Horizon Europe through Grant Agreement No. 101108587. Hosted by the Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial “Esteban Terradas” (INTA), the project investigates the potential of extremophile cyanobacteria, including strains isolated from Mars-analogue environments, as biological resources for future Mars exploration and life-support strategies. These reports constitute early research outputs arising from the project’s ongoing scientific work and are deposited here to ensure their preservation, discoverability, and open accessibility. Their dissemination through the institutional repository supports compliance with the European Union’s Open Science and Open Access requirements for publicly funded research, by facilitating transparency, responsible management of research outputs, and the wider circulation and reuse of project results. This record therefore contributes to the visibility of the MarCyan project and enables scholarly consultation of its preliminary findings by the scientific community and other interested audiences.
