About PEPSci-I

The Dutch planetary and exo-planetary programme is a coherent and integrated network on the interface of Astronomy and Earth Sciences. The programme focuses on the characterisation of planetary processes both within our own solar system and on exoplanets. The addressed topics span the full range from observations and modelling of planetary formation, planetary structures, geology, and atmospheres to the investigation of chemical and biological processes that are linked to organic matter and life.
