Antiprotons, stored and cooled at low energies in a storage ring or at rest in traps, are unique tools for exploring questions on fundamental interactions between matter and antimatter. Experiments with low energy antiprotons are at the cutting edge of science; they are, however, very difficult to realize and require beyond state-of-the-art accelerators and beam instrumentation. The establishment of a world-wide unique Facility for Low energy Antiproton and Ion Research (FLAIR) at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) is the goal of the international FLAIR collaboration.
