Blue Dots is organized around a core team coordinating groups of experts in several planetary characterization themes:
Targets and their environments
Formation and evolution of planetary systems
Habitability criteria
Observations of planetary atmospheres
as well as relevant detection techniques:
Single aperture imaging
Multiple aperture imaging
Microlensing
Modelling habitable planets
Radial velocities
Astrometry

It also includes coordinators for three other working groups:
Public outreach and education
European networking and funding search
