The ERES annual meeting provides a platform for early-career scientists—graduate students, postdocs, and advanced undergraduates—to share their research on all aspects of exoplanet science, from detection and characterization to theory and instrumentation. The meeting also fosters networking, collaboration, and professional development within the exoplanet community.
If you are interested in attending, please fill out our interest form here: https://forms.gle/SDgQDaXibWHfCCxN6 . This will help us stay in touch and provide updates as abstract submission, registration, and travel information become available. We anticipate a call for abstracts in March.
We look forward to welcoming the exoplanet community to Ann Arbor this summer for two days of exciting research and discussion!
ERES is an annual conference by and for early-career scientists (e.g. graduate students, postdocs, postbacs, advanced undergraduates) working in planetary astronomy, Earth sciences, the search for life in the cosmos, and related fields. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for these researchers to present their research to an interested audience and network with peers, as well as to stimulate collaborations among exoplanet, Solar System, and Earth science researchers.
ERES has been held annually on a rotating basis between partner institutions since 2015. The current partner institutions are Cornell, Penn State, Princeton, and Yale.
Talks have been 8 minutes long with 2 minutes for questions (10 total). Posterboards have been 4 feet wide by 4 feet tall.
ERES is open to all early-career scientists, researchers, and students working on anything related to planets and planetary systems, broadly construed. In addition to exoplanets, relevant areas of research may include (but are not limited to) star and planet formation and evolution (including disks); stellar astrophysics; planetary science and Solar System exploration; astrobiology and the search for life beyond Earth; geological, oceanic, and atmospheric sciences; celestial mechanics and astrodynamics; and aerospace engineering.
Yes. However, we strongly encourage submitting an abstract if you can. We will not be able to provide lodgings or travel support for participants who do not submit abstracts.
TBD. Previously, ERES X was a fully in-person event.
The SOC will decide the number of talks on the schedule after abstracts have been received, sorted, and reviewed. We anticipate that everyone who submits a reasonable, relevant abstract will be offered an opportunity to present at the conference.
Due to the unprecedented current fiscal situation in the US, ERES XI is working with a limited budget compared to previous years. Nevertheless, we will make every effort to ensure that participants are supported as much as possible.
With the generous contributions from the Center for Habitable Planetary Systems and the University of Michigan Department of Astronomy, we are able to guarantee free registration for all participants.
We are going with the pronunciation "EE-rez" (IPA spelling: /'irɛz/). Some of us who were around for ERES V in 2019 remember it being pronounced "AIR-eez" (/ɛəri:z/, like the name "Ares").
