Description

The aim of the workshop is to discuss which aspects of planet formation are or are not understood, and to identify areas where future computational developments could make a major impact. Topics of interest are expected to include the theory of protoplanetary disks, planetesimal and planet formation, planet-disk interactions, and migration.
