Conference Description
The Origins of Solar Systems GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.
This year's GRS will explore topics ranging from exoplanet detection and characterization, laboratory experiments relevant to planetary formation, advances in astrochemistry and astrobiology, protoplanetary disk observations, numerical simulations of the physical and chemical processes of early solar system formation, insights provided by spacecraft missions to ancient planetary bodies, and more. We will begin the seminar with an invited keynote talk to provide attendees with the necessary background to fully engage in cross-disciplinary presentations and conversations throughout the seminar and conference. We encourage each participant to submit an abstract and identify their preference to give either a talk or poster presentation. We will accommodate as many talks as possible within the allotted meeting time, but in the event we receive more talk applications than available slots the selected talks will be prioritized on the basis of promoting scientific and participant diversity. Any participants whose applications for a talk are not selected will be offered the opportunity for a poster presentation. The meeting will also include a career panel composed of mentors in the field across a variety of career backgrounds, and we hope to financially accommodate as many participants as possible.
