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 joint EPSC-DPS 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.
We are looking forward to meeting everyone at EPSC-DPS 2025 in Helsinki!
About the Europlanet Science Congress
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.
About the joint meetings with DPS
In 2011 EPSC joined forces for the first time with the Division for Planetary Sciences (DPS) and they held their first joint meeting in Nantes, France. The intent of the joint meetings is not only to connect the European and US planetary science communities, but also to consolidate two major meetings, which should motivate planetary scientists from all over the globe to attend. This was followed by the DPS-led joint meeting in Pasadena, California in 2016; the EPSC-DPS 2019 in Geneva, Switzerland; and the return to the States for the DPS-EPSC 2023 in San Antonio, Texas. This year will mark the third iteration of a joint Europe-based meeting. Given the record number of participants at the last two EPSCs we expect to exceed 2000 participants this year. EPSC and DPS have formalized their joint endeavours via a Memorandum of Understanding that ensures shared benefits for the members of both societies.
SETI Institute scientists will be participating in this meeting.

Scientists are getting closer in their search for life beyond earth. But with limited federal funding for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, supporters are the reason cutting-edge scientists can keep their eyes on the sky.
