The ASTRONET Science Vision and Facilities Roadmap are being updated as part of the original concept for the European version of the US Decadal Survey. A brief presentation was given at the NAM and a much more detailed discussion was held at the EWASS meeting in Turku in July.

UK astronomers are invited to make their contributions to the Roadmap Update, which will be concluded in time to report to the ASTRONET Executive in November, for publication soon after.

The work is being led by Ian Robson (ian.robson@stfc.ac.uk). His presentation to NAM, the draft of the Roadmap and individuals to contact can be found through the webpage . The closing date for comments will be 7 October 2013.

We welcome your comments and inputs to ensure this influential European strategy is as accurate and representative as possible.

ASTRONET is an EU Framework programme funded network charged with maintaining a European strategy for Astronomy, it includes most European countries, along with representatives of ESA and ESO.
