SUMMARY:WEAVE: The next generation wide-field spectroscopy facility for the
  WHT 
DESCRIPTION:WEAVE: The next generation wide-field spectroscopy facility for
  the WHT \nDr. Gavin Dalton\n\nI will describe the major scientific motiva
 tion and outline design  concept for a new 2 degree field, 1000 fibre mult
 i-object spectroscopy  facility for the WHT. WEAVE is expected to be compl
 eted by early 2017  and will be capable of addressing a wide range of Gala
 ctic and  extra-Galactic goals, covering the redial velocity follow-up to 
 the full  depth of the Gaia astrometric catalogue, stellar abundances and 
  chemical labelling in the Galactic halo, galaxy evolution from integral  
 field studies and from the identification of the LOFAR source  population,
  and Cosmology. The instrument is complex, but not  necessarily challengin
 g, and will provide a major resource for the whole  ING community for the 
 next decade.
