The FPR-AT has been assembled by ESA in order to draw a recommendation on the scientific and technological roadmap necessary to lead Europe toward the realization of future space missions in the framework of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan in the field of fundamental physics.
The FPR-AT has consulted with the scientific community. The first step in this consultation process was the Call for White Papers (see article "Call for White Papers for FPR Advisory Team" in right-hand menu). Based on the White Papers that were received in response to this Call, a draft version of the Roadmap document was prepared by the FPR-AT (see link under Documentation). This draft document was discussed with the scientific community at an open workshop, held at ESTEC in January 2010 (see link to the Workshop in right-hand menu). After taking into account the inputs from the workshop and subsequent discussions with individuals, the FPR-AT was able to produce the final version of the Roadmap (see link under Documentation).
