Subject: Early Registration & Travel Support Requests due January 30 for Emerging Researchers in Exoplanet Science Symposium, May 28-29, 2015 at Penn State

The first annual Emerging Researchers in Exoplanet Science Symposium (ERES) will be held May 28 & 29, 2015 at the Pennsylvania State University in University Park, PA. This is the first in a series of annual symposia to be held in a rotating basis at different universities: Penn State (2015), Cornell (2016), and Yale (2017).  ERES is aimed at early career scientists (graduate students, postdocs, advanced undergraduates) working in all realms of exoplanetary science and related disciplines (e.g. brown dwarfs, protoplanetary disks, star formation, related instrumentation and theory). The conference will give emerging scientists an opportunity to present their work in either a short oral presentation or a poster session and to network with other early career scientists, and special career development experts.

Please spread the word that registration is now open, particularly among colleagues and young researchers at your home institution!  We are encouraging interested participants to register by January 30th, 2015 to receive a discounted rate.  The normal registration deadline and deadline for abstract submission is March 26, 2015. 

The NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) has offered to provide travel support for a limited number of participants. Students and postdocs who need full or partial travel support are encouraged to complete the additional funding request fields on the registration form. Applications received by the early registration deadline of January 30, 2015 will receive first consideration for support.  

To register, submit an abstract, or find more information about travel and accommodations, please visit eres-symposium.org or email L-ERES-201...@lists.psu.edu.    

You can find the conference poster at eres-symposium.org/ERESS_Poster.pdf to help advertise around your department. 

Look forward to seeing you all here!
