This meeting aims to bring together researchers in the Washington, DC area to investigate topics related to the origins and formation of planets and exoplanets. The "Disks" in the title refer to circumstellar disks around young stars in which planets are forming, but we also welcome discussion of planets, exoplanets, meteorites, comets and asteroids, and any other topic which might shed light on the origins of planetary systems.

This is the third annual workshop of the series, and NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center is proud to be hosting this year's meeting.
