TEPS 2019
The NSERC CREATE Training Program in Technologies for Exo-Planetary Science (TEPS) held it's Summer School Workshop. The meeting took place at the York University, North York, ON on June 12-14, 2019. This intensive three-day event included short courses in each TEPS theme. Each thematic day of the program was split between basic and advanced topics, with presentations given by experts in the field. All of the experts were external to the program, and were introduced to the wider research and industry community.

Agenda
Since the first exo-planet around a Sun-like star was discovered in 1995, the pace of exo-planetary science has accelerated, with nearly 2000 such planets now confirmed. Technological advances in both observational and analytical tools drive this momentum. The sheer diversity of worlds and systems is revolutionizing planetary science, yet we discern the vast majority of exoplanets only indirectly by their effects on the parent stars. A robust understanding of these results must come from analogy with our own solar system. In fact, one of the most tantalizing findings of exo-planetary research will be direct evidence of biology on other worlds – a goal that is achievable in the coming decades. By cultivating the next generation of research scientists, the TEPS program will place Canadians at the forefront of this emerging science and related technologies.Scientific Opportunity
