In the context of this roadmap, astrobiology is understood as the study of the origin, evolution, and distribution of life in the context of cosmic evolution; this includes habitability in the Solar System and beyond. The AstRoMap Roadmap identifies five research topics, specifies several key scientific objectives for each topic, and suggests ways to achieve all the objectives. The five AstRoMap Research Topics are center dot Research Topic 1: Origin and Evolution of Planetary Systems center dot Research Topic 2: Origins of Organic Compounds in Space center dot Research Topic 3: Rock-Water-Carbon Interactions, Organic Synthesis on Earth, and Steps to Life center dot Research Topic 4: Life and Habitability center dot Research Topic 5: Biosignatures as Facilitating Life Detection It is strongly recommended that steps be taken towards the definition and implementation of a European Astrobiology Platform (or Institute) to streamline and optimize the scientific return by using a coordinated infrastructure and funding system. Key Words: Astrobiology roadmap-Europe-Origin and evolution of life-Habitability-Life detection-Life in extreme environments. Astrobiology 16, 201-243.
