Early registration deadline is now set for 31 March. Regarding COVID-19, As of today, there is no restriction coming from the Portuguese government. Therefore, the organization of the conference continues as planned from the 1st to the 5th of June. However, it is difficult to predict how the situation will evolve. We are thus keeping a close eye on restrictions regarding international travels and meetings. If the conference has to be canceled, the registration fees will be 100% refunded. Consequently, we encourage you to submit abstracts and register, but we advise that you delay your bookings [travel and hotels] as much as possible. Towards Other Earth III: from Solar System to Exoplanets When: 1-5 June 2020 Where: Lamego, Douro Valley, Portugal Venue: Theater Ribeiro Conceicao, Lamego, Portugal What: Atmosphere, Interior, formation and evolution of planets and planetary systems. The Solar System Planets and Exoplanets communities aim at answering similar questions, but seldom interact due to the different datasets they have access to. http://www.iastro.pt/toe3/ [Edited for length] 5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5 [NASA] SMD VIRTUAL TOWN HALL MEETING RE: FY 2021 BUDGET NASA's Science Mission Directorate (SMD) will hold a virtual town hall meeting with Associate Administrator for Science Thomas Zurbuchen and his leadership team at 11 a.m. EDT Friday, March 20, to discuss the president's FY 2021 budget request for the directorate and other updates.

Responses to this Request for Information (RFI) will be used by NASA to further inform planning and development of the ECM RCN and to ensure that this RCN is scoped to advance the big science questions in this research area. The full text of the RFI and response instructions can be found at: https://nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/summary.do?solId ={8395B7E7-44F0-C923-C8F1-39ABD8F71F42}&path=&method=init Responses must be submitted electronically using the NSPIRES website. This RFI is broadly open to responses from all U.S. and non-U.S. entities, with U.S. industry, universities, non-profit organizations, NASA centers, and other U.S. government agencies particularly encouraged to submit. Questions concerning this RFI may be sent to: Rebecca McCauley Rench, Program Scientist, Planetary Science Division becky.mccauley@nasa.gov (subject line to read "Astrobiology RCN RFI") 11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11-11 EPSC 2020 SESSION: ENVIRONMENTS OF OUTER-PLANET MOONS - PARTICLES, PLASMA, FIELDS AND DUST EPSC dates: September 27 - October 2, 2020 Location: Granada This session focuses on outstanding questions on the environments of the moons of outer planets: including the neutral particles (e.g. torii, atmospheres, exospheres, and plumes), electromagnetic fields, dust and plasma, and the interaction of the moons with their environments. Abstracts on all outer planet moons are welcome, including those of Jupiter and Saturn (e.g. Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, Rhea, and Titan) and the not-well explored moons of Neptune and Uranus. Prior developments in this field have lead to significant discoveries (e.g. subsurface oceans) and have given rise to new open questions (e.g. active plumes on Europa). Considering the unprecedented opportunity to study these subjects with the upcoming ESA's JUICE and NASA's Europa Clipper missions it is essential to bring together the space community on this topic. This session is important to maximize the scientific output of past and current missions, in support of the future missions.

The HABLab works primarily on understanding techniques for characterizing exoplanetary atmospheres for signs of habitability and life. These investigations are carried out using spacecraft data as well as a variety of tools for modeling planetary climate and radiation. We seek candidates that will explore applications of retrieval analyses to simulated direct imaging observations of Earth-like exoplanets to constrain surface properties and habitability. The successful candidate will carry out research related to the qualifications listed. The successful candidate is expected to publish scientific papers and may choose to mentor undergraduate and/or graduate students (though this is not required). Applications are due by March 30, 2020.
