With the support of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), topical teams (TT) were formed through a competitive process, with terms and condition on the teams’ composition and deliverables. The deliverable from each team was a community generated report of priorities in their respective scientific discipline. This resulted in ten (10) topical teams, with memberships totaling over 400 experts from 35 organizations. Each team was led (chaired) by Canadian academia, and included representations from students, post-doctoral fellows and industry. To assist this broad consultation, the Canadian Space Exploration Workshop (CSEW) was held from 14 to 16 June 2022, with discussion sessions led by the topical team Chairs, preceded by an open Call for Ideas for collecting community input.
