Dear Colleagues:
This is the third announcement of the Technologies and Infrastructures Workshop for Planetary Exploration, Horizon 2061, which will take place on April 23-25, 2018, in the SwissTech Convention center on the campus of EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland.
We have received more than 50 abstract submission (Talks/Posters), if you are late you can still submit (or edit your submissions) at: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/PE2018/. (Alternatively, as some people had apparently some difficulties, you can submit your abstract (Including title and list of co-authors) to [email protected]) by March 16, 2018 which is the hard DL when the SOC meets and decide on the program of the meeting.
The program of the meeting will be circulated shortly after.
We plan to start the meeting on April 23 at 9h in the morning and finish on April 25 at 14h.
You can already register to this event by connecting directly to: https://meeting.artegis.com/lw/lp/Participants/Participants?EVENT_ID=12704
Note that there are 2 hotels on the campus: Swiss Tech Hotel and Starling Hotel which will be very convenient to minimise your deplacement.
All information can be found at: https://planetaryexploration2061.epfl.ch/
