GMT2010:
Opening New Frontiers with the Giant Magellan Telescope
2010 October 4-6, Seoul National University, Seoul, KOREA

Rationale

In 2009, Korea joined the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) project as an official member. This will be a stepping stone for a quantum jump in the development of Korean astronomy. Recently we have seen a significant progress in preparing giant telescopes including the GMT. In particular six first-generation instrument candidates for the GMT were selected this year. It is about time to prepare science cases for these instruments. The goal of this workshop is to review the current status of the GMT project and to discuss sciences, instruments, and telescope structures for the GMT.
Registration Deadline:  September 7, 2010
