NAOJ Science Roadmap

Town Meetings on the NAOJ Science Roadmap

NAOJ is currently working to formulate a Science Roadmap by the end of FY 2025, in preparation for implementation under the 5th Mid-Term Objectives and Plans (FY 2028-2033). We plan to hold two town meetings via Zoom to report on the current status of the Science Roadmap and the subsequent process of formulating the implementation plan. (The meetings will be recorded for those who are unable to attend.)

- Monday, September 22, 2025, 12:00-14:00 (Application deadline: Friday, September 19, 15:00)
- Wednesday, October 1, 2025, 12:00-14:00 (Application deadline: Tuesday, September 30, 15:00)

43 Proposals Submitted for the NAOJ Science Roadmap

We invited groups with future plans they wish to propose for inclusion in the NAOJ Science Roadmap to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI). The submission period was from September 17 to October 18, 2024 (JST).
As a result, we received 43 proposals. We sincerely thank all the groups who submitted proposals for their cooperation.
