SUMMARY:Interdisciplinary Origin of Life Meeting for Early Career Researchers (IOoL2026)
DESCRIPTION:The Origin of Life Early Career Network (OoLEN) is pleased to announce that this year’s Interdisciplinary Origin of Life Meeting for Early Career Researchers (IOoL2026) will be held in Tokyo\, Japan at the Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) on 9-11 September 2026. \nThe IOoL conference\, OoLEN’s biannual meeting\, is a prime opportunity for early-career researchers to present their work on the origins of life in a relaxed setting\, to exchange ideas across different disciplines relevant to understanding the origin and nature of living systems\, and to stimulate discussions and ideas to help guide the future of research on these topics. The IOoL meeting further provides an opportunity for early career researchers to connect with each other and immerse themselves in the community outside their own labs. \nThe meeting is open to any early-career researcher (master student\, PhD student\, post-doc\, PI < 3 years) working in the context of the origins of life. Membership in OoLEN at the time of registration is not mandatory but we strongly encourage to join the network!

SUMMARY:Charting the Future of Stellar and Exoplanets Spectroscopy (CHASES 2026)
DESCRIPTION:Looking ahead\, a new generation of instruments (some of which already operational like ESPRESSO and DESI) will soon start (WEAVE\, 4MOST)\, is planned (MOONS)\, or proposed — from ultra-stable high-resolution spectrographs to massively multiplexed facilities on large telescopes- which are pushing the boundaries of both precision and scale. \nThese developments will enable the study of fainter and more distant systems with unprecedented detail and/or statistical power\, opening new windows in our understanding of the exoplanet population\, galactic archaeology\, and fundamental physics. Indeed\, by September 2026 we expect that many new results will be already emerging\, while new instruments\, such as 4MOST\, will be starting operations and possibly delivering early science. The new instrumentation is also introducing new challenges\, such as calibration at the cm/s level\, uniform abundance scales across surveys\, use of artificial intelligence for data analysis. \nThis conference will explore all these themes\, bringing together communities working on instrumentation\, stellar and exoplanet astrophysics\, and chemical evolution. Some time will also be dedicated to complementary topics that benefit from high-precision spectroscopy. The conference will serve as a launchpad for reviewing the scientific landscape\, new challenges\, and priorities. 2026 indeed represents an interesting point in ESO’s timeline: a moment when the legacy of VLT instrumentation is since many years at its scientific peak\, while the astronomical community is looking ahead to the next generation of telescopes and spectrographs\, including the upcoming MOONS and CUBES\, and\, of course\, the Extremely Large Telescope. 2026 is also important for the more distant future\, considering the call for new VLT instrumentation within the VLT2030 roadmap and the Expanding Horizons initiative.

SUMMARY:Outer Planets Assessment Group (OPAG) Meeting (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Dear OPAG Community\, \nWe are pleased to announce that the Outer Planets Assessment Group will host a Community meeting September 22-23\, 2026. This meeting will be a virtual meeting and will take place from 9am – 2pm Pacific / 12 – 5pm Eastern Time to enable broad participation. Please complete the required registration form no later than Monday\, September 21\, 2026. This will ensure enough time to send out the virtual meeting links to join. \nMeeting Registration and Information Page: \nhttps://forms.gle/gup9F9avveA5dACd6\n\nThere will be a presentation from the NASA Planetary Science Division Director\, updates on R&A and ROSES\, an opportunity to hear progress and updates from active missions\, and so much more. A draft agenda will be posted to the registration and information page soon!\n\nWe are actively soliciting OPAG-relevant lightning talks from Early Career Scientists. These Early Career Lightning Talks will be limited to 1 slide\, and a maximum of 2 minutes. OPAG looks forward to providing this opportunity to showcase your work and network. Please complete the interest form below no later than September 2\, 2026 for consideration. Accepted presenters will have the option to have their title and abstract archived. \nWe are also soliciting lightning talks on recent OPAG relevant research publications and topics related to mission concepts and technology developments for outer planets and their moons. We will determine the length of these Research/Topic Lightning Talks based in the number of abstracts. Again\, please complete the interest form below no later than September 2\, 2026 for consideration. Accepted presenters will have the option to have their title and abstract archived.\n\nLightning Talk Interest Form:\nhttps://forms.gle/j6kfcAgDtptSryCk9\n\nWe look forward to engaging with you at the meeting!\nIf you have questions\, contact Carol Paty (cpaty@uoregon.edu) and/or Morgan Cable (mcable@psi.edu). \n\nAll the best\,\nCarol Paty & Morgan Cable\nOPAG co-chairs on behalf of the OPAG Steering Committee
