Welcome

The 4MOST consortium invites the astronomical community to a workshop on Science with Large Area Spectroscopic Surveys to develop the specific needs for spectroscopic survey facilities in the next decade. This three-day workshop (13-15 Nov 2012) held at the AIP, Potsdam, will enable discussions between scientists from all astronomical fields from both inside and outside the 4MOST consortium, in order to ensure that the capabilities and observational strategies of 4MOST will satisfy the largest range of science opportunities as foreseen by the broader astronomical community.
