DESCRIPTION:\n	\n		\n			\n		\n	\n\n\nRationale\n\nPLAnetary Transits and O
 scillations of stars (PLATO) is the third medium-class mission in ESA’s 
 Cosmic Vision programme. PLATO was adopted by ESA Science Programme Commit
 tee in June 2017 and is due to be launched in 2026. Its objective is to fi
 nd and study a large number of extrasolar planetary systems\, with emphasi
 s on the properties of terrestrial planets in the habitable zone around so
 lar-like stars. PLATO has also been designed to perform seismology of star
 s\, enabling the precise characterisation of the planet host star\, includ
 ing its age.\n\nThe WP12 STEllar SCIence work package (STESCI) plays a key
  role in reaching the mission’s science goals: its responsibility is to 
 specify the methods for the determination of accurate and precise stellar 
 parameters for all the dwarf and subgiant stars later than spectral type F
 5 from the photometric light curves obtained from the instrument. In other
  words\, WP12 will be in charge of providing the specifications for the PL
 ATO Data Center (PDC) to deliver seismic spectra (data products DP3)\, sur
 face rotation and activity indicators (DP4)\, radii\, masses and ages (DP5
 ) for the hundreds of thousands of low-mass stars of the PLATO core progra
 mme. In addition\, intermediate data products need to be prepared too befo
 re launch\, and will continue to be provided during the mission operation.
 \n\nSTESCI currently includes over 100 researchers from 11 different count
 ries\, across Europe\, North America\, and South America. Its activities a
 re spread over 53 sub-work packages\, which tasks have been defined. Howev
 er scientific issues remain to be debated in order to ensure optimized det
 ermination of stellar parameters with the accuracy required by the mission
 \, yet unreached.\n\nThis workshop intend to gather STESCI members\, with 
 the aim of discussing and taking decisions about the best scientific optio
 ns to derive stellar parameters with the uncertainties requested by the PL
 ATO mission.\n​\n \n\nScientific Organizing Committee\n\n\n	Jerome Ball
