The European
Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) is now in its detailed design
phase. With an unprecedented primary aperture, and correction for
ground-layer turbulence, the telescope will offer a tremendous leap forward in our
ground-based capabilities. This meeting will provide an introduction
to the telescope design, the overall science case, and will give an
overview of UK activity in ELT instrumentation studies. The afternoon
session features contributed science talks.
The meeting will be held in Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. An entry fee of £15 is collected for non-members of the RAS (£5 for students with a valid student card). A light lunch will be available for purchase at the apartments of Burlington House. Further logistical details can be found at the RAS meetings pages.
