The purpose of the Particle Physics Advisory Panel (PPAP) is to provide a link between Science Board and the community, and represent the needs of the community to the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).
In response to the European Strategy for Particle Physics update in 2020, the PPAP carried out a roadmapping exercise throughout 2020-2021 and after iteration with the particle physics community, finalised the roadmap in September 2021. This roadmap, like previous ones, represents a snapshot of the community and its vision at this point in time and will be updated in the future.

Terms of reference
The advisory panel is tasked to:
- maintain an overview of activities within the area
- develop and maintain a science vision and long term strategy or roadmap by assessing the merit of current and future science opportunities
- develop and maintain a technology roadmap for their area of research
- consult and interact with the community to ensure its views are canvassed and there is an appropriate and effective route for communication with STFC on strategic programmatic issues
- provide advice to Science Board on specific questions as requested
- liaise with other advisory panels when appropriate
- report on its activities to Science Board on a regular basis using the process set out below: the science strategy developed by the advisory panel will be used by Science Board as input to ongoing strategy development and in future programmatic reviews
- consist of a chair and deputy and up to 12 other members, the panel size depending on the size of the community and the need to ensure that the panel membership fully reflects the breadth of the community.
