Estos incorporan códigos QR que permiten acceder a audiodescripciones y a una plataforma web con contenidos ampliados. \nLa propuesta se completa con modelos 3D de estrellas y planetas\, con maquetas de algunas componentes de la nave espacial\, y finalmente con vitrinas que albergan componentes tecnológicos desarrollados en centros españoles implicados en la misión\, lo que permite mostrar al público el trabajo de ingeniería que hace posible la obtención y el procesamiento de los datos científicos del satélite. \nEn la inauguración de la exposición participaron la coordinadora de Cultura de la Junta en Cuenca\, Yolanda Rozalén\, junto al director del Museo de las Ciencias de Castilla-La Mancha\, Javier Semprún; el astrónomo del Museo\, José María Sánchez; y representantes del ámbito científico vinculados a la misión PLATO. Durante el acto institucional intervinieron Juan Carlos Suárez (UGR); Andrés Moya (UV); y Ana Belén Balado (INTA). Además\, la jornada incluyó una conferencia con Juan Carlos Suárez\, Andreas Moya\, Gonzalo Ramos (INTA)y Rosario Sanz (IAA-CSIC) \nOs invitamos a acercaros al Museo de las Ciencias para disfrutar de esta exposición y conocer de cerca cómo la investigación científica trabaja para responder a una de las grandes preguntas de la humanidad: si existen otros planetas habitables más allá de la Tierra. \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/en-busca-de-nuevas-tierras/ LOCATION:Museo de las Ciencias de Castilla-La Mancha (Cuenca)\, Pl. la Merced\, 1\, Cuenca\, Cuenca\, 16001\, Spain CATEGORIES:Actividades ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/IMG_5063.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260722T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260722T133000 DTSTAMP:20260601T122611Z CREATED:20260601T122608Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T122611Z UID:33356-1784723400-1784727000@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 22/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosPrajval ShastriThe International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/tbd-2/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/seminarscover-e1752660087307.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260723T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260723T133000 DTSTAMP:20260601T122707Z CREATED:20260601T122654Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T122707Z UID:33347-1784809800-1784813400@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 23/07/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosPrajval ShastriThe International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research (ICRAR) URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-tbd-3/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios,SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260909T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20260909T133000 DTSTAMP:20260601T122906Z CREATED:20260601T122902Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T122906Z UID:33349-1788957000-1788960600@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – TBD DESCRIPTION:TBD \nFecha y lugar: 09/09/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosSteven LongmoreAstrophysics Research Institute (ARI) URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-tbd-4/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios,SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260928 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20261003 DTSTAMP:20260615T112931Z CREATED:20260615T112302Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260615T112931Z UID:33859-1790553600-1790985599@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:IAA-CSIC Severo Ochoa School on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Astronomy DESCRIPTION:THE SCHOOL\n\n\nOverview & Scientific Rationale\nModern astronomy is entering a data-intensive era in which Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning are becoming essential scientific tools.

The school will provide an up-to-date perspective on the latest developments in the study of Solar System atmospheres and in the emerging field of exoplanetary atmospheres\, reflecting the rapid evolution of planetary science. While researchers at all career stages are welcome\, preference will be given to early-stage researchers (PhD researchers and early postdocs). \nThe topics covered by the school include planetary formation\, planetary interior and its link with the atmosphere\, atmospheric modeling\, observational techniques\, radiative transfer and retrieval schemes\, as well as 1-day Workshop on potential Venus-analogue exoplanets. In addition to topical lectures going beyond textbook knowledge\, the school will also schedule hands-on sessions focused on the practical use of  state-of-the-art tools in the field given by their developers\, promoting interaction between lecturers and participants. \n  \n\nMAIN SCIENCE TOPICS\n\n\n\nPlanetary formation\nPlanetary interior and conexion with atmosphere\nAtmospheric modeling\nObservational techniques\nRadiative transfer and retrieval schemes\nWorkshop: Venus analogue exoplanets\n\n  \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nLECTURERS AND TUTORS\n\n\n\nLorena Acuña (Max Planck Institute for Astronomy\, Germany)\nJoanna Barstow (Open University\, UK)\nElsa Ducrot (IRFU-CEA\, France)\nFrancois Forget (Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique – IPSL\, France)\nEric Hébrard (University of Exeter\, UK)\nManuel López Puertas (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía – CSIC\, Spain)\nYamila Miguel (Leiden University\, The Netherlands)\nOlga Muñoz (IAA-CSIC\, Granada\, Spain)\nIgnas Snellen (Leiden University\, The Netherlands)\nMichael Way (Theoretical Astrophysics\, Department of Physics and Astronomy\, Uppsala University\, Uppsala\, Sweden)\n\n​ \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\nORGANIZING COMMITTEE\n\n\n\nFrancisco José García Izquierdo (IAA-CSIC)\n​Francisco Gonzalez Galindo (IAA-CSIC) – Chair\nGabriella Gilli (IAA-CSIC) – Chair of the ExoVenus workshop\nThea Kozakis (IAA-CSIC)\nAlberto Mendi Martos (IAA-CSIC)\nGwenaël Milcareck (IAA-CSIC)\nFrancisco José Pozuelos Romero (IAA-CSIC)\nAlejandro Sánchez López (IAA-CSIC)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/where-skies-meet-multidisciplinary-views-of-planet-and-exoplanet-atmospheres-iaa-csic-severo-ochoa-advanced-school/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:SO Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/2026-PLANTILLAS-MONITOR-3.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20261022T123000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20261022T133000 DTSTAMP:20260601T105249Z CREATED:20260323T094624Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260601T105249Z UID:30339-1792672200-1792675800@www.iaa.csic.es SUMMARY:SO Colloquium – Venus as an Anchor Point for Planetary Habitability DESCRIPTION:A fundamental aspect of understanding the limits of habitable environments and detectable signatures is the study of where the boundaries of such environments can occur\, and the conditions under which a planet is rendered into a hostile environment. In our solar system\, Venus is the most Earth-like planet\, yet at some point in planetary history there was a bifurcation between the two: Earth has been continually habitable since the end-Hadean\, whereas Venus became uninhabitable. Indeed\, Venus is the type-planet for a world that has transitioned from habitable and Earth-like conditions\, through the inner edge of the Habitable Zone (HZ); thus it provides a natural laboratory to study the evolution of habitability. \nIn this talk I will describe the gaps in our knowledge regarding Venus within the context of how these gaps are impacting our ability to model exoplanet atmospheres and interiors. I will discuss various factors that relate to a possible habitable past of Venus\, including orbital evolution. I will outline exoplanet target selection for testing the conditions of runaway greenhouse and present examples of potential Venus analogs. \nFinally\, I will summarize the primary exoplanet science questions that will be addressed by the coming NASA and ESA missions to Venus. \n  \nFecha y lugar: 22/10/2026 – 12:30 | Salón de ActosStephen KaneUniversity of California\, Riverside \n  URL:https://www.iaa.csic.es/evento/so-colloquium-venus-as-an-anchor-point-for-planetary-habitability/ LOCATION:IAA – CSIC\, Glorieta de la Astronomía\, Granada\, España CATEGORIES:Seminarios,SO Colloquium ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.iaa.csic.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/SO-COLLOQUIUM.png END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
