Abstract

We introduce the collection of papers from the first workshop on the habitability of the venusian cloud layer organized by the Roscosmos/IKI-NASA Joint Science Definition Team (JSDT) for Russia's Venera-D mission and hosted by the Space Research Institute in Moscow, Russia, during October 2-5, 2019. The collection also includes three papers that were developed independently of the workshop but are relevant to venusian cloud habitability.

Keywords: Exoplanets; Habitability; Life; Microorganisms; Venus.
