- **Event Name**: DISCO: Disks in Context

- **Event Description**: Understanding effects of star-forming environments on planet-forming disks.About this EventTraditionally, planet-forming disks were thought to evolve in isolation to form planetary systems like our Solar System. Recent studies, however, increasingly show that these disks instead evolve within complex and dynamic environments. External irradiation, infall of fresh material from surrounding clouds, and stellar flybys can significantly alter physical and compositional properties of these disks. This conference will bring together observational and theoretical perspectives to assess the current state of the field and identify the key open questions in understanding how environments shape planet-forming disks.The registration on eventbrite is now open. Please only register if you have been confirmed a conference spot (e.g., oral or poster presentation). For more information on the conference, visit sites.google.com/view/disksincontext.
