Early Career Talks

NASA's Exoplanet Program Analysis Group's Executive Committee (ExoPAG EC) and NASA's Exoplanet Exploration Program (ExEP) Office invite early career scientists to consider presenting at the next ExoPAG community meeting. The EC and ExEP are particularly interested in attendance and presentations by early career scientists from a range of backgrounds.

As the ultimate users of future NASA facilities, early career scientists are encouraged to attend the ExoPAG meetings to:

  • Share your work with a broad audience of scientists, technologists, and NASA leadership
  • Learn about NASA's strategic goals and plans, and learn how to impact them through ExoPAG activities.

Finding and characterizing earth-like planets around nearby stars is one of NASA’s primary scientific goals. ExoPAG helps NASA assess the current and upcoming state of exoplanet science toward the goal of enabling future exoplanet missions relevant to NASA's strategic goals.

The application for early career talks is open, apply here

The deadline for submissions is May 2nd, 2025 8:00pm ET/ 5:00pm PT

Focus of proposed ExoPAG 32 talks

Whether you are investigating how planets form, how they evolve or how to search for and characterize them, the ExoPAG EC invites you to share your work. Presentations should align with the priorities described in the current Exoplanet Exploration Program Science Gap List.

The fully virtual meeting will be held on June 3rd, 2025. The agenda includes two 20 minute sessions in which 4 early career speakers will give a 10 minute presentation.

Leadership and organizers are particularly interested in encouraging early career students from a range of backgrounds to participate.
