Talks and Posters

We would like to emphasise to science case contributors that the presentations should be geared towards expectations with the E-ELT and the relecant instrument, rather than current results.

In particular, the SOC woud like to bring the ESO science web pages to your attention, from which you can retrieve information regarding the science case from the science working group, the simulations carried out under the Design Reference Mission, the E-ELT Exposure time estimators (Imaging ETC and the Spectroscopic ETC), and projects suggested by the ESO community via the Design Reference Science Plan.
