PLATO Stellar Science Conference

26-30 June 2023, Milazzo, Italy

The ESA PLATO mission is expected to be launched by the end of 2026. In this context, the PLATO Stellar Science Conference (PSSC23) is part of the overall effort to prepare the mission, the exploitation of the forthcoming data, and thus to optimise the scientific return of the mission. The conference will befocused on the mission’s core programme, dedicated to F7 to M dwarfs main-sequence and sub-giant stars. The programme will also address the scientific calibration stars of the core programme, in particular, red-giant stars, gamma Doradus stars, and eclipsing binary stars. For further scientific and practical details, please go to the webpage: https://plato-stesci2023.sciencesconf.org The registration will be open in the beginning of February 2023. However, in order to help the organisation, we kindly ask you to fill the pre-registration form: https://evento.renater.fr/survey/pre-registration-to-plato-stellar-science-conference-2023-pssc23-a9pf2vqg that you can also find on the web page of the Conference.

Year 2022

Planetary Systems: The Young Solar System, ICISE, Quy Nhon, Vietnam

June 5-11, 2022
Focus: Our goal is to host a highly interdisciplinary mid-sized meeting of broad scope with highly acclaimed key speakers of international standing. We aim to unite ourselves to discuss barriers to progress, propose solutions and identify and foster future collaboration that will advance our understanding of the young solar system. We intend to formulate a coherent and scientifically sound story on the birth and evolution of the young solar system.

Deadline for submission of the oral & poster abstract: 1 April 2022.
Deadline for registration: 1 May 2022. Find out more>>

Synergy of Small Telescopes and Large Surveys for Solar System and Exoplanetary Bodies Research

August 2-11, 2022

A Focus Meeting to be held at the XXXI IAU General Assembly in Busan, the Republic of Korea on August 2-11, 2022.

This Focus Meeting within two days, August 4 and 9, will promote the complementarity of large astronomical surveys and astronomy done with small telescopes (up to 2 m diameter). It concerns, in particular, the application of big data methods to modern and past sky surveys, small telescope data archives. Contemporary and prospective sky surveys (Gaia, TESS, LSST, etc.), radar, space-borne data allow using these highly accurate measurements for calibrating data measured at the small telescopes, revealing their potential in time-domain planetary sciences. 

It is important to note that the registration and abstract submission have to be done solely through the XXXIst IAU General Assembly website following the General Assembly deadlines, https://www.iauga2022.org.

  • early-bird registration ends on February 28;
  • regular registration ends on May 31;
  • abstract submission for invited/contributed talks terminates on March 31;
  • abstract submission for e-talks/e-posters terminates on May 31.

Year 2021

Europlanet Science Congress 2021

The Europlanet Science Congress (formerly the European Planetary Science Congress) is the annual meeting place of the Europlanet Society. With a track record of 15 years and regularly attracting around 1000 participants, the Europlanet Science Congress is the largest planetary science meeting in Europe. It covers the entire range of planetary sciences with an extensive mix of talks, workshops and poster sessions while providing a unique space for networking and exchange of experiences.

Virtual meeting. 13 – 24 September 2021

European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting

28 June – 2 July 2021
Virtual meeting! https://eas.unige.ch/EAS2021/

The European Astronomical Society (EAS) Annual Meeting (formerly known as EWASS, and earlier JENAM) has more than 25 years of tradition and it has imposed itself as the largest conference for European astronomy. In addition to plenary sessions and the award of prestigious prizes, the conference hosts many symposia held in parallel, as well as special sessions and meetings.

3rd Europlanet Early Career (EPEC) Annual Week 2021

EPEC is pleased to announce the third edition of its training school for early career scientists who work in the field of planetary/space science and engineering. Go to the conference page.

Dates: 7-11 June 2021
Venue: Virtual
Deadline for registration: 15 April 2021

The school is organised by EPEC, the Europlanet Early Career (EPEC) network. One of the main objectives of EPEC is to form a strong network of young professionals by organising early-career-relevant events and by engaging in different projects through the nine EPEC Working Groups. The EPEC community aims to bring a young voice into the Europlanet Society to shape the future of planetary and space sciences and engineering. More information on EPEC can be found here.
