Virtual school registration
This is the registration page for the virtual edition of the RED Training School (June 16th – 19th). This online Training School will feature recorded lectures from the current year’s in-person RED event. Each streamed lecture will be followed by a live Q&A session with the speaker. Throughout the week, attendees will have the chance to network with students from all around the world, connect with the lecturers, present their PhD topics (optional), and share and discuss research across disciplines. All lectures will be conducted in English.
Once your registration has been validated, you will get the login to access the interface for this virtual school.
Participants who watch the whole lecture series and succeed in short quizzes about it will receive a certificate of attendance. Live animations and Q&A sessions will be organized at CEST (UTC + 2), but you can watch the lectures and replays of the Q&A session at your convenience in your time zone.
Registrations are open until June 9th, 1 PM CEST (UTC +2).

Alessandro Morbidelli received the Master in Physics at the University of Milan (Italy) in 1988, and the Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of Namur (Belgium) in 1991. In 1993 he obtained a CNRS permanent position at the observatoire de la Côte d’Azur in Nice and in 2023 he has been elected Professor at Collège de France in Paris, the most ancient and prestigious French academic institution, with a chair on planet formation. He is an expert of the formation and dynamical evolution of planetary systems. He has extensively studied the formation and evolution of our Solar system. In 2005, with three other colleagues all gathered in Nice, he published a trilogy of papers in Nature, proposing the so-called Nice model, that reconstructs the evolution of the outer solar system after the removal of gas from the disk. He also studied several other aspects of the formation of planetary systems: giant planet formation and orbital migration, the effect of giant planets on the circulation of dust in the disk, planetesimal formation, super-Earth formation etc. Morbidelli has been the recipient of a number of awards, including the Urey prize of the DPS in 2000 and the bronze and silver medal of CNRS in 1995 and 2019. In 2021 he has received an advanced grant from the European Research Council to build a new coherent model of terrestrial planet formation in the next 5 years. Also in 2021, he has become editor in chief of the journal Icarus, a planetary science journal started in 1968 by C. Sagan. He is the head of the planetary science division of the french space agency CNES.
