The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a proposed next-generation facility for massively multiplexed optical spectroscopy. With its
wide field of view, large collecting area, high multiplex, and integral-field capability, WST will enable transformative surveys across
cosmology and large-scale structure, galaxy evolution, the CGM/IGM, high-redshift galaxies and reionization, black holes and AGN, Galactic
archaeology, resolved stellar populations, time-domain and multi-messenger astrophysics, Solar System science, and survey/data-analysis
methodology.
This Cambridge workshop will bring together researchers from the WST community, the UK, and the wider international community to
explore the science potential of WST and shape future engagement with the project. The meeting will highlight key science drivers, survey
strategies, synergies with facilities such as WEAVE, MOONS, DESI, 4MOST, Gaia, PLATO, Euclid, Rubin/LSST, Roman, JWST, ALMA,
SKA, and CMB experiments, and opportunities for community participation.
