2025 Sagan Summer Workshop

Silver Jubilee: Exoplanet Demographics


July 21-25, 2025
Hosted by The NASA Exoplanet Science Institute

California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA

#sagan2025


The topic of the 2025 Sagan Summer Workshop will be the "Demographics of Exoplanets" and will address the contribution of each of the major planet-finding techniques to our overall knowledge of the architecture of exoplanet systems. Along with presentations about each technique and its particular strengths and biases, the workshop will address the synthesis of these results into a complete demographic picture for comparison with models of the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The Workshop will explore gaps in our knowledge and how future missions and surveys will address them. Of particular interest will be understanding the importance of a full demographic picture, including the incidence of Earth-sized planets in the Habitable Zones of their host stars, to future missions such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory.

The 2025 Sagan Summer Workshop will the 25th in this series of workshops. This "Silver Jubilee" will also address the demographics of Workshop attendees over the years with a presentation and discussion of their career trajectories.

The 2025 workshop will be hybrid with both in-person and on-line attendance. The Sagan Summer Workshops are aimed at advanced undergraduates, grad students, and postdocs, however all are welcome to attend. There is no registration fee for these workshops.
