Scientific paper

The Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC) is a collaborative project with participation from Spain, Mexico and the University of Florida, Gainesville. The GTC is an advanced technology 10.4 m segmented primary telescope currently under commissioning. By the time of the conference we should have pointed to the sky. In the talk I will give a brief overview of the GTC, and present the latest results from the commissioning tests. I will also give an account of the scientific instruments that will be initially available for the community, as well as the current plans for future instruments.
