After the Moriond Conference on Venus Express in 2007 and 2008, this third Venus Conference centred on the results of Venus Express, and including results from other investigations, along with comparative planetology, will take place in the small village of Aussois in the Alps. The programme will cover most aspects of Venus-related science, from the formation and evolution of Venus to the physics of exoplanets.

The conference is open to participants from the world-wide planetary science community. It is recommended that participants come for the full week of the conference as many sessions are linked and the discussion in/after each session will be interdisciplinary. The number of participants is limited to 120.
