The fifth Venus Science Conference (Venus-SC 2025) will be organized in online mode during 25-26 September, 2025. The primary focus of conference is on modelling, observations, data analysis, conceptual design and scientific experiments for exploration of Venus. It is being held with a motive to provide a platform to the researchers for the interaction and exchange of knowledge. Though the focus is on Venus, the ideas and information will have a wider scope. This year, a special session on Planetary Lightning will include discussion on lightning networks in India and also, lightning on other planets. So, mark your calendars and join us for the Venus-SC 2025.
