June 19 event: The next 30 years from the discovery of the first exoplanet

In 1995, ISSI was founded, and guess what? It was also the year 51 Pegasi b was discovered, making it the first exoplanet found orbiting a star just like our Sun.

Mark your calendars for June 19, 2025, because ISSI is bringing together some incredible speakers. We will have Michel Mayor, Doug Lin, and Carole Mundell sharing their expertise, along with Didier Queloz, Sara Seager, Jonathan Lunine, and Laura Kreidberg. And to top it all off, we have got Thomas Zurbuchen as the moderator and Willy Benz as our Master of Ceremonies. This is going to be an event you won’t want to miss!

So, come on down to the University of Bern (or watch the live stream) and join us for our event of the year!

Expanding Non-Planetary Science with Uranus and Neptune Missions

ISSI International Team 551 convened twice in Bern to explore an innovative frontier in space exploration: the non-planetary science potential of future missions to Uranus and Neptune. These ice giants, the least explored planets in the Solar System, offer an unparalleled opportunity to push the boundaries of planetary science—and, as the team demonstrates, the broader field of astrophysics.
