The main topics that will be address during the workshop are the following:

• How, when and how fast do planets form? What observational constraints exist and how do they compare with predictions from different planet formation theories?
• Can forming planets be detected through direct imaging and high-resolution kinematical studies? What are the strengths and limitations of such techniques?
• Planet-disk interaction: do theoretical predictions match the observations?
• Planets form in evolving disks: what has been learned from disk population studies and what is still missing, both in the models prediction and in the observations? What is driving disk evolution all the way to disk dispersal?
• How important is the effect of the environment both on disk evolution, and on the process of planet-formation? What are the prospects of studying planet forming disks in further away and harsher environments?
• How can chemistry be used as a tool to constrain planet-formation by comparing observations of molecular tracers in disks and around exo-planets? What is the fundamental contribution of JWST and what are the prospects?
