Discussion topics
The topics to be addressed during the workshop include:
- Atmospheric escape mechanisms
- Comparative atmospheres: Earth versus other planets
- Variability in outflow, controlling factors
- Long term evolution of planetary atmospheres
- Impact of atmospheric erosion
- Mass balance: escape versus accretion
- Innovative methods for data analysis
- Space missions to study atmospheric erosion

Scientific Program
The detailed program is expected to be posted a couple of weeks before the workshop.
Update: The preliminary program is available here.
Update 2: The workshop program is available here.
Social Events
The ice breaking on Monday evening, an excursion to the Danube Delta, and the workshop dinner on Thursday evening, are some of the milestones. A lunch or evening discussion on Inclusion and diversity in science is envisaged too.
