We deeply regret to announce that, due to various circumstances (primarily financial constraints), CPS will withdraw from the Kobe University Integrated Research Center at the end of this fiscal year (March 31, 2026) and will also cease to operate as an official organization under the Graduate School of Science. This workshop will serve as the final official meeting of CPS, which has promoted various collaborations in research and education activities related to planetary science.
This workshop, serving as the final project for CPS, was planned with the hope that it would provide an opportunity for each participant to think about the future -- such as how to carry forward planetary science in Japan, while recalling the ideas we had regarding the promotion of planetary science at the time CPS was launched around 2007, as well as the subsequent developments and various practical endeavors since then.
The program details are still undecided, but we are considering inviting those who are able to provide multifaceted perspectives on the current state or future developments in planetary science.
As usual, remote participation will be available. However, we would greatly appreciate it if you could make the effort to attend in person at the Kobe University Integrated Research Center venue, and enjoy..
