The Decadal Survey on Astronomy and Astrophysics 2020 (Astro2020) recommended a large (~6m) UVOIR observatory as the next NASA Flagship mission, followed by Far Infrared and X-ray missions in the future. The links to presentations from the previous conferences and workshops that are related to the next generation of flagship missions recommended by the Astro2020 are provided below as a useful resource for the community.

An illustration of Sun-like star HD 181327 and its surrounding debris disk. The star is at top right. It is surrounded by a far larger debris disk that forms an incomplete ellpitical path and is cut off at right. There’s a huge cavity between the star and the disk. The debris disk is shown in shades of light gray. Toward the top and left, there are finer, more discrete points in a range of sizes. The disk appears hazier and smokier at the bottom. The star is bright white at center, with a hazy blue region around it. The background of space is black. The label Artist's Concept appears at lower left.
