EPSC-DPS JOINT MEETING 2011
02 – 07 October 2011
La Cité Internationale des Congrès Nantes Métropole, Nantes, France

1ST MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT
The Joint Meeting of the European Planetary Science Congress and the Division for Planetary Sciences (EPSC-DPS) 2011 will take place at La Cité Internationale des Congrès Nantes Métropole, Nantes, France from Sunday 02 October to Friday 7 October 2011.
The EPSC-DPS Joint Meeting 2011 represents the first cooperation between the Europlanet Research Infrastructure and the Division for Planetary Sciences of the American Astronomical Society. The meeting is being organised in association with the European Geosciences Union and with the support of the Université de Nantes.
The 2011 meeting programme will cover a wide range of planetary topics, including early results from Dawn at Vesta, the latest results from Venus Express and MESSENGER, and new findings at Enceladus and Titan. More than 1700 abstracts for oral presentations and posters have been submitted.

Media representatives are cordially invited to attend. Press room facilities will be available for the duration of the conference – from 9 am on Monday 03 October through to 2 pm on Friday 07 October. We expect to hold daily press briefings over the lunch period each day so as to avoid conflict with the scientific presentations, which will also be open to members of the press. Light snacks and refreshments will be available during the briefings for registered members of the press. The briefings will be webcast live from 12:15 CEST. The venue has a wireless network.
Media registration is free. Any bona fide media delegates can register online by e-mailing anita.heward@europlanet-eu.org or reddy@space.edu (advance registration is not essential but encouraged).

EPSC-DPS 2011 will provide a platform for the worldwide planetary sciences community to exchange and present results, develop new ideas and network. It will have a distinctively interactive style, with an extensive mix of talks, workshops and posters, intended to provide a stimulating environment for the community to meet. The meeting will cover the entire scope of the planetary sciences.
