Astronomy Roadmaps

On a mandate by SERI, the SCFA produces since 2006 so-called "community roadmaps" in order to facilitate political decisions related to the long-term scientific policy of Switzerland in relation to astronomy. The last document is the "Astronomy Community Roadmap 2024" complemented by the "Space Research Community Roadmap 2024" by the Swiss Committee on Space Research (CSR). These documents are available below toghether with earlier roadmaps and a report of 2017 on large astronomical facilities.
