Abstract
Following the detection of the first planet orbiting a solar-type star back in 1995, exoplanet research has become one of the key science drivers for new instruments and missions by the main international agencies (ESO, ESA, NASA). One of the main drivers of the field is the detection of other "Earths" and the detection of life-signatures in an alien world. In this talk I will briefly present the efforts done in the Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço to develop this field. In the process I will present some high impact results led by the team, and show our future plans.
