NAM 2025
The UKPF will be hosting a session at NAM 2025 titled 'Planetary science and exploration'
The UK Planetary Forum is pleased to announce that we are hosting a session 'Planetary science and exploration' at the upcoming National Astronomy Meeting hosted by Durham on 7-11th July this year. For more information about the session, meeting and how to submit an abstract please click here.
We have organised this session to strengthen the representation of planetary and small bodies to the astronomical community. We are also keen to emphasize that this session encourages contributions from all levels of experience, from ECRs to professors, working in planetary science, in particular those funded through the STFC.

EGU 2025
The European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in 2025 will take place on the 27th April - 2nd May in Vienna, Austria. EGU25 aims to bring together geoscientists from all over the world in one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, planetary, and space sciences.
In 2025 EGU will host a session on Planetary Geomorphology (GM6.1/PS1), which aims to bring together geomorphologists who study the Earth with those who work on other bodies such as Mars, Venus, Mercury, the Moon, icy satellites of the outer solar system, comets, and/or asteroids. Studies applicable to landscapes on any scale on any solid body are welcome. Particularly encouraged to submit abstracts for the session are those who use Earth analogues, laboratory/numerical simulation and/or big satellite datasets. Considered processes could include aeolian, volcanic, tectonic, fluvial, glacial, periglacial, or "undetermined" ones. Contributions from early-career scientists and geomorphologists who are new to planetary science are especially welcomed.

19th UKPF Early Careers Meeting
The next UKPF meeting will take place in January 2026.
The Early Careers meeting is an annual meeting of early career planetary science researchers in the UK. This includes masters students, PhD students and Post-docs. For more information and to view the web page for the last meeting please click here.
The purpose of the meeting is to network and showcase the research going on in universities up and down the country. This meeting gives early career researchers a chance to present talks or posters to a scientific audience in an open and friendly conference environment to help prepare for international conferences and other occasions.

RAS Discussion and Ordinary Meetings
The Royal Astronomical Society welcomes offers of topical contributions at the ordinary meetings held on the 2nd Friday of the month (October to May). View RAS Events & Meetings Calendar.
Anyone wishing to give a talk should contact the RAS Executive Secretary Pamela Mortimer. Suggestions are also welcome for the one-day Discussion Meetings held just before the Ordinary Meeting - these are good opportunities to bring together people in your field of expertise. See "Proposing a RAS Discussion Meeting" for more details.
