The non-perturbative nature of the strong interaction leads to spectacular phenomena, such as the formation of hadronic matter, color confinement, and the generation of the mass of visible matter. To get deeper insight into the underlying mechanisms remains one of the most challenging tasks within the field of subatomic physics. The antiProton ANnihilations at DArmstadt (${\bar{\rm P}}$ANDA) collaboration has the ambition to address key questions in this field by exploiting a cooled beam of antiprotons at the High-Energy Storage Ring (HESR) at the future Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR) combined with a state-of-the-art and versatile detector. In this contribution, I will address some of the unique features of ${\bar{\rm P}}$ANDA that give rise to a promising physics program together with state-of-the-art technological developments.

The results of simulations for future measurements of electromagnetic form factors at \PANDA (FAIR) in frame of the PandaRoot software are reported. The statistical precision at which the proton form factors can be determined is estimated. The signal channel $\bar p p \to e^+ e^-$ is studied on the basis of two different but consistent procedures. The main background is identified in the $\bar p p \to \pi^+ \pi^-$ channel. The suppression of this background, the background versus signal efficiency, and the of the statistical errors on the extracted proton form factors have been also evaluated according to the two different procedures. The comparison with older predictions based on an old framework shows consistency of the results and a slightly better precision is achieved here in a large range of momentum transfer, assuming the nominal conditions of beam and detector performances.
