The most direct approach to studying the planet formation process is to identify and characterize young, forming planets still embedded in protoplanetary disks. The final stages of gas giant planet formation are influenced by the gas supply from the disk. Additionally, these studies offer insights into the relationship with isolated planetary-mass/brown-dwarf/very-low-mass-star accretors and wide-orbit planets/companions that are not embedded within disks. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers to discuss current understanding of gas accretion during planet formation and to explore future directions in this field.

The meeting will be held in person at the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA) in Heidelberg, Germany, from Monday 10:00 AM 9:00 AM until Wednesday around 2:00 PM. There is a fee to attend the conference.

Due to the capacity of the conference room, the number of attendees is limited to 75.
