The intention of the Europlanet Science Congress 2022 is to cover a broad area of science topics related to planetary science and planetary missions. EPSC will this year be jointly organized with the annual EANA (European Astrobiology Network Association) Conference 2022, and will therefore include a large number of sessions with an Astrobiology focus.

The programme of the congress will contain oral and poster sessions, as well as workshops and panel discussions and provide with ample opportunities for interaction between the participants. The meeting is planned as an in-person meeting, and no virtual participation is foreseen for the scientific sessions. However, considering the lessons learned from the last two virtual EPSC meetings and taking into account your feedback, we will be investigating how to bring at least some level of virtual components (e.g. session recording) into the EPSC2022 physical meeting.

The Scientific Organizing Committee of the EPSC2022 invites all planetary scientists to participate in the congress, submit contributions to the topical sessions and share their research with their colleagues.

The ethos for EPSC2022 is to create a simple, flexible, and inclusive meeting that provides multiple opportunities for interaction, scientific discussion, and networking.
