Aims & scope

The intention of the Europlanet Science Congress 2024 is to cover a broad area of science topics related to planetary science and planetary missions. The programme of the congress will contain oral and poster sessions, as well as workshops and panel discussions and provide with ample opportunities for interaction between the participants.

The Scientific Organizing Committee of the EPSC2024 invites all planetary scientists to participate in the congress, submit contributions to the topical sessions and share their research with their colleagues.

We are looking forward to meeting everyone at EPSC2024 in Berlin. EPSC2024 will be organized as a fully hybrid meeting and will allow virtual access to all oral and poster sessions.

The ethos for EPSC2024 is to create a simple, flexible, and inclusive meeting that provides multiple opportunities for interaction, scientific discussion, and networking.

About the Europlanet Science Congress

The Europlanet Science Congress (formerly the European Planetary Science Congress) is the annual meeting place of the Europlanet Society. First held in Berlin in 2006 and regularly attracting more than 1,000 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.
