About ExoClimes VIII: ExoClimes VIII will be held at the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan, from 11–16 July 2027. The conference brings together researchers studying planetary climates, atmospheres, and habitability across a wide range of environments, from Solar System planets and moons to exoplanets and brown dwarfs. The scientific programme will include keynote reviews, invited and contributed talks, poster sessions, and dedicated discussion periods. Before the conference, the ExoSLAM Summer School (8–10 July 2027) will provide training and networking opportunities for students and early-career researchers.

As with previous ExoClimes meetings, the conference will place a strong emphasis on discussion and collaboration, balancing scientific sessions with ample opportunities for informal interactions. With approximately 200 participants expected from around the world, ExoClimes VIII will bring together a diverse community spanning astronomy, planetary science, atmospheric science, and related disciplines, while maintaining the interactive and collaborative atmosphere that has long characterised the ExoClimes conference series.
