Mission & Goals
Europlanet promotes the advancement of European planetary science and related fields for the benefit of the community and is open to individual and organisational members. The aims of Europlanet are to expand and support a diverse and inclusive planetary community across Europe, to build the profile of the sector through outreach, education and policy activities and to underpin the key role Europe plays in planetary science through developing links at a national and international level. Established as a non-profit association (AISBL) in 2023, Europlanet builds on the heritage of 20 years of Europlanet projects funded by the European Commission and provides a sustainable legacy for infrastructure, virtual access facilities, tools and services developed through these activities. The association is the parent body of the annual Europlanet Science Congress (EPSC) the largest annual meeting on planetary science in Europe.
