The main part of the school is a series of lectures on various aspects of planetary atmospheres, surface environments, and their interaction with planetary interiors including the following topics:

1. Cutting-edge reviews of the atmospheres of Mars and Venus and their exploration
2. A perspective on the dynamics of the planetary atmospheres including the Earth's as an example
3. In-depth discussion on the origin and evolution of the coupled system of planetary atmospheres and interiors, with the search for the definition of habitable worlds in mind
