Tenth Summer Meeting of the Centre for Planetary Sciences at UCL/Birkbeck

This year's Summer Meeting will be held on Thursday 11 June 2020 as a virtual event.

The Centre for Planetary Sciences at UCL/Birkbeck is delighted to host our Tenth Summer Meeting on Thursday 11 June 2020, which this year will be a virtual event using Microsoft Teams. 

In these challenging times of remote working and social distancing, it is important to stay connected and we hope that we can bring a useful, constructive and lively Summer Meeting, strengthening our sense of community by sharing our research, and initiating further discussion and collaboration.

We hope this new format can also be seen as a fresh opportunity to share our research with a wider audience, so please contact the meeting organiser (joanna.fabbri at ucl.ac.uk) for the meeting link if you are interested in attending to help us keep track of numbers.

Please find the schedules for the morning and afternoon talk and poster sessions below. You may view some of the posters here, where authors have granted permission.

The programme and abstracts can also be found in the following document, together with Microsoft Teams access instructions and guidance for use on the day:
