The international scientific colloquium “Spectroscopic Surveys with the ELT: A Gigantic Step into the Deep Universe” took place from 17 to 20 October 2017 at the Palacio de Congresos in Toledo (Spain).
The meeting was organized by the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) with the support of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (IAA-CSIC) and the Paris-Meudon Observatory (France).
