> The UK has secured leading scientific and technical roles in ESO's ELT
> project, but only with the continued support of the community can we sustain
> this leadership as we approach first light. Given your past interest, can I

> In brief, construction of the telescope is now advancing rapidly, with first
> light scheduled for 2024. The UK is leading one of the two first-light
> instruments (HARMONI) and construction of the spectrograph in the third
> instrument (METIS). It has well-defined roles in the next two instruments
> (MOSAIC and HIRES) and we are also supporting R&D toward the ambitious
> planetary camera and spectrograph (PCS). This coordinated programme is the
> result of a long-term strategy to maximise the science return to the UK over
> the first decade of ELT operations, while also building expertise in the
> community of how best to exploit this exciting new facility.

> with best wishes, Chris Evans
