The ninth Emerging Researchers in Exoplanet Science Symposium (ERES IX) will take place 2024 July 10-12 at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.
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.
Information about traveling to Cornell can be found here.
Coming soon.
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 may not be able to provide lodgings or travel support for participants who do not submit abstracts.
No. Registration and abstract submission is free of charge for all participants.
No. ERES IX will be 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.
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").

Cornell University is located on the traditional homelands of the Gayogo̱hó:nǫʔ (Cayuga Nation). The Gayogo̱hó:nǫʔ are members of the Hodinǫ̱hsǫ́:nih (Haudenosaunee) Confederacy, an alliance of six sovereign nations with a historic and contemporary presence on this land. The confederacy precedes the establishment of Cornell University, New York state, and the United States of America. We acknowledge the painful history of Gayogo̱hó:nǫʔ disposession and honor the ongoing connection of Gayogo̱hó:nǫʔ people, past and present, to these lands and waters.
