– How do the properties of protoplanetary disks determine the characteristics of fully formed exoplanets, including their atmospheres?
– What is the connection between terrestrial planet-forming regions and the outer zones of protoplanetary disks?
– What are the initial conditions that set the stage of planet formation and the evolution of protoplanetary disks?
– How does the surrounding environment affect the planet-forming potential of disk-bearing stars?
– What are the main constraints from observations on the physics and chemistry of circumplanetary disks?
– What are the most promising observational strategies to capture planet formation in action?
– What are we learning from the outer solar system bodies about grain evolution and ice composition in the solar nebula, and how does it connect with our understanding of protoplanetary disks?
