Outer Planets Colloquium Series

Would your institution like a visit and colloquium presentation from an expert in outer solar system science, at no expense to you? Would you like travel support to share your outer solar system research? Presenters and host institutions are sought for the Outer Planets Colloquium Series, a program that matches planetary scientists with university campuses and research institutions.

Participation is open to two- and four-year undergraduate colleges and research institutions throughout the United States. Host institutions commit to making the necessary local arrangements. Presenters are encouraged to address the needs of the next generation of scientists (graduate students, interns, and undergraduates) and to give an additional presentation that is free and open to the general public. Other interactions that increase awareness of outer solar system science may also be considered as part of the visit. These may include guest teaching a class, interacting informally with students and faculty, or other outreach activities.

A current list of presenters and their prospective talks is provided on the Series website.

The Colloquium Series will cover the presenter’s travel expenses. There will be no honorarium for the speaker.
