About the Meeting

Sunday, July 29, 2018

NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program Analysis Group (ExoPAG) will hold its eighteenth meeting on Sunday, July 29th, 2018 in Cambridge, MA immediately preceeding the Cambridge Workshop on Cool Stars being held at Boston University July 30-August 3 https://coolstars20.github.io/index.html

ExoPAG meetings are open to the entire scientific community, and offer an opportunity to participate in discussions of scientific and technical issues in exoplanet exploration, and to provide input into NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP). All interested members of the astronomical and planetary science communities are invited to attend and participate.

ExoPAG-18 will continue to focus on soliciting input from the wider exoplanet community on ways in which NASA might facilitate exoplanet research over the next few years, as well as input on how it should prioritize its ExEP activities. Suggestions for topics and/or speakers at the meeting along these lines are welcome.
