OSIRIS (Optical System for Imaging and low/intermediate-Resolution Integrated Spectroscopy) will be one of the Day One instruments for the Spanish 10.4m telescope GTC at La Palma. One of the scientific projects to be addressed with OSIRIS is the study of the galaxy population in clusters of galaxies at high redshift. Part of the cluster sample could be selected by means of the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect as provided by the Gran Telescopio Milimétrico (GTM). The optical survey will be complemented using other future facilities in the NIR such as the Espectrógrafo Multiobjeto InfraRojo (EMIR), also in the GTC. The spectroscopic and photometric capabilities of PACS and SPIRE covering the spectral range 60 - 670 microns, will both feed this survey and allow us to complement and extend it. In summary, the combination of the GTM, OSIRIS and FIRST capabilities will likely provide a deep insight into the evolution of clusters of galaxies and galaxies in clusters. Although only one of the OSIRIS scientific projects is outlined here, most of the OSIRIS projects, developed and carried out by the OSIRIS Scientific Team, will use FIRST instruments to tackle their scientific objectives.
