Scientific Rationale

The goal of this workshop is to provide a common platform for scientists working in the fields of star- and planet formation, exo-planets, astrobiology, and planetary research in general.
Most importantly, this workshop is aimed at stimulating and intensifying the dialogue between researchers using various approaches - observations, theory, and laboratory studies.
In particular Students and Postdocs are encouraged to present their results and to use the opportunity to learn more about the main questions and most recent results in adjacent fields.
