Canadian Astronomical Society
Long Range Plan (LRP)
The Canadian Astronomy Long Range Plan 2020-2030 (LRP2020) is the third in the series of Canadian Long Range Plans for astronomy and astrophysics. For a history of the LRP process, see here.
LRP2020 has reviewed the field of astronomy and astrophysics, along with associated education, training, and outreach programs, and has produced a list of recommended priorities for the next decade. The resulting plan serves as a single unified vision for the highest priority projects in astronomy in Canada over the period 2020 to 2030.
The final report from the LRP panel is here.
