Europlanet Science Congress

Europlanet Science Congress
Europlanet and the Scientific Organizing Committee of EPSC2026 invites all planetary scientists to participate in the congress, submit contributions to the topical sessions, and share their research with their colleagues. The congress will offer virtual elements to access oral and poster sessions.

The intention of the congress is to cover a broad area of science topics related to planetary science and planetary missions. The programme of this year’s EPSC will contain oral and poster sessions, as well as workshops and panel discussions. The ethos is to create a simple, flexible, and inclusive meeting that provides multiple opportunities for interaction, scientific discussion, and networking.

The Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC, formerly the European Planetary Science Congress) is the annual meeting place of the Europlanet community, which invites contributions from planetary scientists from all over the world. First held in Berlin in 2006 and regularly attracting 1,200 participants, EPSC is the largest planetary science meeting held in Europe. It covers the entire range of planetary sciences with an extensive mix of talks, workshops, and poster sessions while providing a unique space for networking and exchange of experiences.

SETI AIR artist Daniela de Paulis and SETI COSMIC Project Scientist will be two of the conveners of the SETI session: SETI through an interdisciplinary approach: astrobiology, technology and space exploration.
