Opportunity To Apply To A New International Mars Exploration Working Group on Planetary Protection

The IMEWG (International Mars Exploration Working Group) is planning to stand up a sub-working group to identify international science and planetary protection goals and scope priorities in the upcoming transition period to a future robotic and crewed synergistic exploration of Mars.

This group will operate through regular virtual meetings over an approximately one-year period (through September 2026), with an in-person working meeting scheduled at the midpoint (in March/April 2026).

  • Current and recent (last 5 years) positions and responsibilities
