General Information

General

The European Planetary Science Congress 2014 will take place at the Centro de Congressos do Estoril, Cascais, Portugal, 07 – 12 September 2014. This attractive seaside location will, we hope, produce an excellent scientific forum, and we also anticipate lively outreach sessions. As with the highly successful meeting in London in 2013, which attracted 960 attendees (the largest yet for an all European EPSC), it will provide an attractive platform to exchange and present results, develop new ideas and to network the planetary science community in Europe. It will continue to have a distinctively interactive style, with a mix of talks, workshops and posters, intended to provide a stimulating environment for the community to meet. The meeting will cover the whole scope of planetary science.

Lisbon is one of the most historic capitals in Europe, and the conference venue is a modern, state of the art facility, a short ride from the centre by local train. So it will also provide plenty of opportunities to network in a relaxing atmosphere, starting with the Icebreaker Reception on the evening of Sunday, 07 September 2014.

We look forward to seeing you there.
