Scientific paper

As a prelude to the decision by the ESO Council to approve the detailed studies (Phase B) for the European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) project, a meet-ing was held in Marseille to comprehensively present and discuss the extensive planning for this exciting project. The conference was attended by 250 astron-omers and engineers (see the confer-ence photograph in Figure 1). The strong support, together with detailed considerations and feedback from the community provided by this meeting were instru-mental in the ESO Council decision a few days later. They will be further harnessed in the years to come. There were three sessions, devoted to science (1.5 days), the telescope design (1.5 days) and in-strumentation (1 day). In the following arti-cles, a summary of each session and the list of speakers and posters is presented, by the chairs of the three sessions: Isobel Hook, Guy Monnet and Jean-Gabriel Cuby.
