Program bird's-eye-view and calendar

We thought a bird's-eye-view and a calendar of the meeting events could be handy !

Each session in the table below links to the official program web page, except for Birds-of-a-Feather sessions that are linked to the public OpenPlanetary Forum.

Our calendar includes direct links to each session abstract. Download and import, or add this calendar directly by copy/pasting the following URL in your iCal format compatible email client (tested on GMail):

Public Forum

The public OpenPlanetary Forum is at disposal for chairs and participants of Birds-of-a-Feather sessions to capture and share interesting discussion points and resources.

Feel free to use the OP Forum to post any resources, questions, feedback you may have pre/post-meeting in the dedicated PlanetData2021 category page, or any other related category.
