The South East Exoplanet Meetings (SEEMs) aim to create a regular space for networking, sharing results and fostering collaborations amongst (loosely defined) exoplanet researchers in the (also loosely defined) south east of England.
Inspired by the Bay Area Exoplanet Meetings, we aim to be inclusive and provide opportunities for junior and senior researchers alike to share their work and grow their networks whilst conserving their travel budgets. By holding several one-day meetings a year, we hope to hear from everyone who wants to share their work and expertise.
Join us for the first South East Exoplanet Meeting on 5th December 2019 at the Royal Astronomical Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, Mayfair, London W1J 0BQ.
