In the area of planetology, the resonant dynamical evolution of small body orbits among the giant planets was evaluated.

In the field of planetology, studies of Mars and Venus continued using the following Russian instruments, which were carried on board Mars Express and Venus Express: the Planetary Fourier Spectrometer (PFS), the Spectroscopy for Investigation of Characteristics of the Atmosphere of Mars (SPICAM), the Visible and Infrared Mineralogical Mapping Spectrometer (OMEGA), the Analyser of Space Plasmas and Energetic Atoms (ASPERA), the High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) and the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionsphere Sounding (MARSIS).

The session of the Workshop focused on (a) virtual observatories and automated networks: how to use them, (b) great eyes of astronomy: pathways to evolution, (c) World Space Observatory, (d) major statistical studies as observatories and use of data from different observatories to study particular regions of the sky, (e) astronomical telescope facilities, (f) astrophysical applications of concepts from non-extensive statistical mechanics and the Sun and (g) planetology and solar terrestrial interactions.
