"Unveiling the infancy of planetary systems"

The large variety of observed planetary systems is rooted in the complex physical and chemical processes that lead to their formation. In the last few years, great observational and theoretical developments have dramatically improved our understanding of how forming planets are affected by and interact with their birth environments, the protoplanetary disks. In this talk, I will show how physical and chemical processes in disks concur in promoting conditions amenable for planet formation. I will focus on novel methodologies to detect forming planets and circumplanetary disks from ALMA data, in particular in the kinematical structure of protoplanetary disks. I will finally discuss present challenges and upcoming developments in this exciting field, focusing on new and upcoming data from ALMA, JWST and 30m class telescopes.
