[nlodieu]

Dear colleagues,

Apologies if you have received this announcement several times.

We are pleased to announce a session (EXOA12) dedicated to young
exoplanets at the upcoming Europlanet Science Congress 2026 (EPSC2026)
conference in The Hague on 6-11 September. The full abstract of the
session is attached at the end of this email.

##### EXOA12 session: abstract #####
The mechanisms of formation, evolution, and migration of giant and rocky
planets remain
unconstrained despite the huge progress of the field since the discovery
of the first planets in 1995. Understanding planet formation processes
is key to improve our knowledge on the origin of planetary systems and
our Solar System. The study of exoplanets at young ages (below the age
of the Hyades ~600 Myr) is fundamental to determine the timescale of the
formation of planets and constrain the dynamical models of planet
evolution.

Many exoplanets orbiting young stars have been reported over the past
few years in young stellar forming regions, open clusters and moving
groups have well-constrained ages and well-determined physical
properties (mass, radius, density, temperature), essential to refine
evolutionary models based on orbital migration or photo-evaporation. The
availability of space-borne missions (Kepler, TESS, Gaia, JWST),
high-resolution and high-precision spectrographs (e.g. HARPS, CARMENES,
ESPRESSO, SPIRou, etc...), and (sub)-millimetre facilities (e.g. JCMT,
SMA, ALMA) have revolutionised the field over the past years.

The goals of this session are to offer a review on the observational
techniques and theoretical modelling efforts in the field of young
exoplanets, highlight the latest discoveries, and propose a way forward
to gain a better understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve.
We will divide the session with dedicated contributions on direct
imaging, radial velocity, transit timing variation, and transit
spectroscopy as well as computer modelling.
