Low-metallicity stars are witnesses of the first stellar nucleosynthesis events in the Galaxy, as their surface abundances reflect the composition of the interstellar medium from which they were born. Aside from the primordial Big Bang nucleosynthesis, massive stars, due to their short lifetimes, dominate the wind and explosive ejecta into the interstellar medium of the early Galaxy [...]

The newly launched “QCD at FAIR” network targets to address open questions in the field of non-perturbative QCD leveraging high-intensity (anti)proton, deuteron and secondary pion beams at GSI/FAIR aligned with state-of-the-art theoretical advances. The program includes precision studies of hadron–hadron interactions, baryon spectroscopy, transition form factors, and in-medium modifications under extreme conditions, with implications for the nuclear equation of state, neutron star physics, and searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. [...]

I present the scientific vision for a decade-long, cross-community hadron-physics program at the GSI/FAIR accelerator complex. Driven by high-intensity proton and secondary pion beams combined with versatile detector systems, the program will address some of the key questions in `strong QCD'. [...]
