Abstract:
I will report on the activities of the EST Science Advisory Group (SAG) and give an overview of the SRD for EST. The SAG formed in November 2017 and consists of 23 European scientists. The first top-level goal is to revise the existing SRD that dates back to 2010 and to present the new version at this meeting. Revisiting the design details of EST, the SAG distilled the excellent and unique science that EST can do. I will address the structure and objectives of the SRD. The top-level science goals are split in 7 Sections. Each section forms a session at the meeting. In addition, I will elaborate on the scientific uniqueness of the EST Nasmyth focus.
