The idea of a joint ESO / Australia meeting on the large number of
exciting new facilities that are, or will soon be, available tihne
southern hemisphere arose quite naturally. In the optical and the
near-infrared, the Very Large Telescope (VLT) will soon be
operational. In the radio, the Australia Telescope Com pact Array
is going to be upgraded to higher frequencies (20 and 100 GHz),
together with an improvement in very long baseline interferometry
(VLBI) facil ities. Other major facilities, such as the Large
Millimetre Array and the lkT are being planned. Moreover, new deep
surveys are underway in the southern hemi sphere: the southern
Hubble Deep Field, the ESO Imaging Survey (BIS), pan oramic deep
surveys with the UK Schmidt telescope, and the Anglo-Australian
Telescope (AAT) 2dF galaxy/QSO redshift survey in the optical; and
the Parkes multibeam HI survey and Molonglo Observatory Synthesis
Telescope (MOST) Wide Field continuum survey at radio wavelengths.
With all these new facilities, important progress will be made
regarding important issues such as the large scale structure of the
universe, the very early universe and the associated first epoch of
galaxy formation. The generation of large databases, and the oppor
tunity for sensitive follow-up observations in complementary
wavebands, mean that coordinated radio, infrared and optical
projects in the southern hemisphere are likely to become
increasingly attractive and important.
