The Preparatory Group was established with the main purpose of preparing the guidelines and receiving white papers from the different efforts in High Energy Physics, AstroParticles and Cosmology in the region. The white papers are the basis for mapping a landscape of initiatives in the region. The Preparatory Group is also in charge of organizing Workshops to discuss the contributions and to prepare the Physics Briefing Book for the Strategy Group.
The initial members of the Preparatory Group were nominated by the countries representatives in the SILAFAE International Scientific Committee.
