Scientific paper

ESA and ESO initiated a series of Working Groups to explore synergies between space- and ground-based instrumentation. The work of the fourth of these Working Groups, described in this article, focuses on Galactic stellar populations, their chemistry and dynamics, and identifies a set of top questions that future missions and/or ground-based facilities will help to answer. Its mandate was to focus on Gaia/ground synergies in the domain of Galactic science. The major recommendations are for ESA to guarantee the expected tremendous capabilities of Gaia, for ESO to consider the construction of highly multiplexed spectrographs for follow-up and complementary observations of selected Gaia targets, and for ESA and ESO to consider jointly ways to give European astronomers a lead in the exploitation of the Gaia catalogue.
