EPSC 2021: Open Pro-Am Workshops on the Giant Planets

EPSC 2021 Professional and Amateur Splinter Workshops on the Giant Planets

Everyone interested is invited to attend two ‘splinter workshops’ during this month’s EuroPlanet Science Congress, open on Zoom to anyone without need for registration.  In each one, a short introduction will be followed by five talks of 15 minutes each, including time for questions, and there will be more time for discussion at the end of the session.  The talks will be given live and questions can be asked via Zoom chat.
