The 5^th Advanced School on Exoplanetary Science will be held in Vietri sul Mare (Salerno), Italy from 26 to 30 May, 2025. The School - taking place close to the enchanting Amalfi Coast - is aimed to provide a comprehensive, state-of-the-art picture of a variety of relevant aspects of the fast-developing, highly interdisciplinary field of Exoplanet research. The Lecture topics of the 5^th edition of the School will be focused on the Physical and Dynamical Processes of Exoplanetary Systems, mainly covering the theoretical aspects.

In particular, the following key topics will be covered:

Physical Processes in Protoplanetary Disks
Dynamical Evolution of Exoplanetary Systems
Exoplanet Interiors - from Gas Giants to Terrestrial Planets
Modeling Exoplanet Atmospheres
Planet Formation Models

The Lectures will be delivered by five senior researchers to an audience of graduate students and young post-docs.
