In the school the planet formation process will be presented starting from the very early phase of dust agglomeration up to the assembly of fully grown planets. Building upon the ideas on how to form the Solar System, the focus of the school will lie on the main theoretical foundations that have emerged after the detection of extrasolar planets. There are 14 lectures given by international experts in the field. In little projects the participants will have the opportunity to to work on particular problems in the field. Additionally, the participants are encouraged to present their own work in the form of posters.

July 2016

3-8	Astronomical Society of Australia Annual Scientific Meeting, Sydney, Australia  This will be the 50th anniversary of the formation of the Astronomical Society of Australia.
3-8	Exoplanets Conference, Davos, Switzerland  The astronomical community is in an expansion phase of exoplanet science, especially with several American and European space missions (TESS, CHEOPS, PLATO, JWST) on the horizon (2017 to 2024). The new Exoplanets conference series aims to consolidate all aspects of exoplanet science and strike a balance between: 1.Exoplanet theory, observations and instrumentation; 2.Exoplanet discovery and atmospheric characterisation; 3.Transiting and directly imaged exoplanets; 4.Ground- and space-based surveys/missions; 5.American and European participation. We aim to expand upon the “Planets” in the “Protostars & Planets” conference series by shifting the focus to exoplanet science. We expect about 60% of the program to consist of contributed (rather than invited) talks.
3-8	International Symposium and Workshop on Astrochemistry, Campinas, Brazil

11-15	4th International HSE Geochemistry Workshop, Durham, United Kingdom  The 4th HSE workshop is of cross-disciplinary appeal in covering analytical advances, as well as low-temperature and high-temperature geo- and cosmochemistry topics pertaining to HSEs and allied elements. The meeting and related activities will provide opportunities for friendly exchange between scientists of all levels, thus offering the potential for all to accelerate knowledge/technology sharing and explore new observations that advance understanding of key geo- and cosmochemistry questions. Additionally, we anticipate many opportunities for useful new international collaborations to nucleate during the workshop; these will be highly beneficial to continued progress in HSE frontier science and will support overall advances within the geochemistry community, help to create pathways for present and future students, and potentially provide for the early-stages of discussions to commercialise scientific applications for industry.
11-15	New Directions in Planet Formation, Leiden, The Netherlands  In the past two decades over 2,000 exoplanets have been discovered with properties and orbital architectures very different from the solar system. Yet the theoretical foundations of planet formation theory still rely on a framework conceived for the solar system. This workshop will focus on new developments in dust coagulation, planetesimal formation, planetary growth, and planetary migration. The goal of the workshop is to critically assess the viability of various theories on planet formation and establish new research directions.
12-19	2016 NASA Planetary Volcanology Workshop, Kilauea, Hawaii  Study volcanic features analogous to those on Mars that have been imaged recently by MOC, THEMIS, HRSC, HiRISE, and the MER and MSL rovers, comparing their field appearance to their appearance in remotely-sensed images.
