They've already identified a candidate object, which if confirmed, will have a flyby in 2019.

I watched the closest approach coverage live yesterday. Beautiful picture of the dwarf planet, and I'm looking forward to all the info that's going to follow. In the UK there'll be a Sky At Night TV programme on Monday 20th about the mission.

With this and the Philae lander waking up recently, there's a lot to look forward to over the coming months.

yea unfortunately contact to Philae was very brief since it woke up, hopefully they'll manage to stabilize the connection and collect the data it has stored/attempt even more experiments
