Description

In March 2024, a group of European researchers working on high-contrast imaging (HCI) for exoplanet research organized the first “R&D for Space-Based HCI in Europe” workshop at the Paris Observatory. A second edition was held in May 2025 in Heidelberg. Acknowledging Europe’s long-standing contributions to HCI, the main goal of the workshop was to foster collaboration and provide an overview of ongoing activities and cutting-edge projects in the field across Europe.
This contribution aims to report on the key topics, discussions, and insights that emerged during both workshops.
