2025 Sagan Summer Workshop - Silver Jubilee: Exoplanet Demographics

The topic of the 2025 Sagan Summer Workshop will be the "Demographics of Exoplanets" and will address the contribution of each of the major planet-finding techniques to our overall knowledge of the architecture of exoplanet systems. Along with presentations about each technique and its particular strengths and biases, the workshop will address the synthesis of these results into a complete demographic picture for comparison with models of the formation and evolution of planetary systems. The Workshop will explore gaps in our knowledge and how future missions and surveys will address them. Of particular interest will be understanding the importance of a full demographic picture, including the incidence of Earth-sized planets in the Habitable Zones of their host stars, to future missions such as the Habitable Worlds Observatory.

The 2025 Sagan Summer Workshop will the 25th in this series of workshops. This "Silver Jubilee" will also address the demographics of Workshop attendees over the years with a presentation and discussion of their career trajectories.
