    oral

    Description

    The session comprises invited talks by international space-agency division directors about their long-term views, priorities, and plans to implement developments and missions for the four fields (exoplanets, space astronomy, space physics and fundamental physics). The mission scope ranges from flagship-class, large-class, medium-class, and small-class to smallsat platforms. The programme scope includes status updates on current programmes, near-term investment priorities, and long-range directions, including the relationship to community and guiding research panels.
