*** During the workshop, we will ask you all to participate in "Group Discussion". All the participants, including undergrads and grads, will be divided into several sub-groups with a senior scientist/young, talented researcher who can facilitate group discussions, each of which will be categorized by scientific topics on formation/evolution of super-Earths/Neptunes (SENs) and their atmospheres or observation strategy/future missions towards characterization of SENs. Your investment in "Group Discussion" should ensure that we realize an unresolved issue and find out a unique solution to it, which means that this workshop goes towards a higher-quality research collaboration. A LOC member will introduce you to both the detailed purpose and the instructional design of "Group Discussion" on Day 1 morning.
