Over the past quarter century, the number of discovered exoplanets has increased drastically, revealing a remarkable diversity in their sizes, orbits, and compositions. However, the origins of this diversity remain poorly understood, posing one of the key challenges for planetary science in the next decade. A crucial clue to answering this question lies in the discovery and characterization of young transiting planets, which serve as the missing link between protoplanetary disks and mature planets. Mapping the distributions of planetary sizes, orbits, and atmospheric compositions as a function of system age will offer valuable insights into the processes of planetary formation and evolution.
This workshop will focus primarily, though not exclusively, on young transiting planets in the context of planetary formation and evolution. We will overview the recent advances in both observational and theoretical studies of young planets and foster discussions on new ideas and potential collaborations aimed at understanding the origins of planetary system diversity.
