Science driversPlanets in other stellar systems Imaging and spectroscopy The quest for Earth-like exo-planets
Stellar populations In galaxies inaccessible today
(e.g. ellipticals in Virgo cluster)
Across the whole history (i.e. extent) of the Universe
Cosmology The first stars/galaxies, closer to Big Bang Direct measure of deceleration Evolution of cosmic parameters Dark matter, dark energy Tests of GR around black holes
The unknown Open new parameter space
E-ELT Programme status - 18th Nov 2015 3
One top goal of the E-ELT is to find and to characterise exo-planets...
... it is the first telescope ever that can explore Earth-twins...
... with ultimately the chance to find life beyond the Solar system.

Procurement Approach
E-ELT Programme status - 18th Nov 2015 37
Basic principle: outsource all what can be efficiently performed by outside partners (industry or institutes) while keeping inside ESO the tasks where ESO has a long and specific experience not readily available outside.
Examples of the first category are: • detailed design, construction and integration of large structures (e.g.
Dome, telescope Main Structure), • high-precision optical mirror production, design, construction and • integration of astronomical science instruments (by consortia of
astronomical institutes). Examples of the second category are:
• specification, design and implementation of telescope control systems, • AIV of high-precision opto-mechanical units, • Maintenance/coating of large mirrors.
Procurement Strategy Principles
E-ELT Programme status - 18th Nov 2015 38
Specify at functional/performance level, rather than at design level;Procure complete system to minimize interface issues and limit ESO resources needed to follow-up contracts;Procure from a vendor no more than what he is experienced, keeping the risk clear;Ensure enough competition (to keep price low);Geographical return;Limit contractors’ on-site involvement to those tasks that local ESO personal cannot do efficiently;Technology Readiness Level (TRL);
