Dear colleagues from the Geo.X Network,
we invite you to join us for the third upcoming Geo.X "Grow Your Idea" Workshop: Exoplanet Exchange: A Berlin‐Potsdam Roundtable. The focus of this meeting is to initiate collaborative research on exoplanet science combining expertise from different institutes.
Date: 5th of December 2025
Place: German Aerospace Center (DLR), Rutherfordstraße 2, 12489 Berlin
Summary
The goal of this scientific retreat is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among research groups in the Berlin‐Brandenburg region that specialize in exoplanet characterization. By bringing together experts from various fields, such as exoplanet interiors, atmospheres, star‐ planet interactions, and host stars, we aim to create a more comprehensive understanding of these fascinating foreign worlds. Regular meetings, alternating between different institutes, will provide opportunities for early career scientists and students to explore diverse research possibilities within the region and connect with experienced researchers. Moreover, such collaboration will significantly enhance our ability to characterize exoplanets and solidify the Berlin‐Potsdam region's position for exoplanet research in Europe.
In Detail
This roundtable aims to foster collaborations of exoplanet research groups in Berlin-Brandenburg. This is a series of meetings with participants from different institutes such as the AIP, DLR, FU, and GFZ. This is the announcement for the third meeting, which will take place at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). The final agenda is under preparation, but we aim to continue strengthening the connections, discuss possible projects for grand applications, have scientific talks, and more. This roundtable is open to scientists working in the Berlin-Brandenburg region. If you want to attend the meeting, please write an email to engin.keles@fu-berlin.de.
