UC Santa Barbara, Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics

The Kepler and TESS missions, as well as ground-based telescopes, have discovered thousands of planets on short-period orbits around other stars, including many that are Earth-size and likely to be rocky. These objects have no direct counterparts in the Solar System, and the corresponding inner regions within the protoplanetary disks that spawned them are challenging to study. This conference will confront this challenge and advance our understanding of the nature, formation and evolution of Earth-sized planets in inner protoplanetary disks by bringing together diverse experts in exoplanet demographics, protoplanetary disks, models of disks and planet formation, and meteoritics to address four key questions: (1) what is the nature of close-in rocky planets and their atmospheres? (2) do they form in situ or migrate inwards after forming further out? (3) what are the governing parameters that could vary between star systems? and (4) why are there no analogous planets around the Sun? The conference will complement and energize the associated KITP Program by including a broader range of participants and highlighting recent observational results. The goals of the conference are to synthesize current knowledge of the properties of planets and inner disks, describe the state of the art in models of planet formation and evolution, catalyze interactions between different fields, and chart a path forward for advances in observations, theory, and computational modeling.

The 3rd Michigan Cosmology Summer School will take place in Ann Arbor, MI on June 2-6, 2025. The goal of the school is to help educate a generation of young scientists on the cutting edge developments in cosmology. Lectures will cover a broad range of topics, focusing on the interface of data and theory, and including computation, statistics, and machine-learning techniques. The format will be hybrid, with participants expected to attend in person but open to online participation as well. Outdoor activities will be organized. Registration will open in Spring 2025.

Institute for Computational and Experimental Research in Mathematics, Brown University, Providence, RI (ICERM)

The aim of this workshop is to bring together participants from computational mathematics and gravitational wave astronomy to tackle computational challenges in leveraging data-driven methods in key areas of gravitational wave data analysis in order to maximize the science output of the ongoing and upcoming observations. The areas of focus will be: (i) noise classification and detection, (ii) waveform modeling and uncertainty quantification, and (iii) source parameter and astrophysical population Bayesian inference.

American Astronomical Society (AAS)

One of the central features of the AAS Summer and Winter Meetings is their plenary talks spanning the full breadth of astrophysics. Some plenaries are given by prize winners from the AAS and other organizations, while other speakers are selected by the AAS Vice Presidents. Most plenary talks present science content, but talks on the state of the profession, demographics, and societal issues of relevance to the astronomical community are also regularly scheduled.

DemystifySci

Demysticon 2025 is all about the changing paradigms of astrophysics and cosmology. Join DEMYSTICON and take part in a community of experts, investigators, and enthusiasts. Our annual event this year in Sesimbra (June 12-16) includes a weekend of talks, panels, and discussions about the successes and failures of the standard models, the new ideas that seem most promising, and what it will take to achieve revolutionary insight into the mechanics of the universe.

Penn State Extraterrestrial Intelligence Center

This symposium will be a broad look at SETI, including new technosignature search results and upper limits, new search methodologies and instrumentation, theory, and social aspects of the field including the post-detection protocols, message construction, and the historical roots of the field. Interdisciplinarity will be emphasized. As with previous instances, we encourage the submission of proposals for breakout sessions for workshops, tutorials, or special sessions on narrower topics. Early career researchers are especially encouraged to attend.

Abstract submission for breakout sessions, plenary talk proposals, and funding requests will be open until May 31, 2025.

Abstract submission for posters will be open until August 1, 2025.
