Dear colleagues from the Geo.X Network,
we invite you to join us for an 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: 29th of November 2024
Place: Freie Universität Berlin GeoCampus, Malteserstraße 74-100
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 will be a series of 3-meetings, the first at FU in Lankwitz, the second at the AIP in Potsdam, and the third at the DLR in Berlin-Adlershof. We will have introduction talks from different group leaders and a special guest talk. Every attendee is expected to give a 90-second flash talk (obligatory) showing 2-slides. The main part of the event will be a breakout session, in which mixed groups will discuss possible projects combining different expertise. This roundtable is open to all members of the Geo.X community and is not limited to employees from FU, AIP and DLR.
If you want to attend the meeting, please write an email to engin.keles@fu-berlin.de. Note, that there is a limited space for registration.
With best regards
Engin Keles
