BlueMUSE is an instrument selected by ESO for its VLT2030
instrumental plan, with a Phase A starting no later than
2022. It is an optical seeing-limited, blue-optimised,
medium spectral resolution, panoramic
integral-field-spectrograph, to be installed on one of the
telescopes of the VLT on Cerro Paranal (Chile). The project
is an evolution of the technology used on the very
successful VLT / MUSE instrument, but with a new and
distinct science case.<br>
<br>
<br>
This workshop aims at bringing together Australian
researchers and discuss the key science cases in relation
with the top level requirements and capabilities of
BlueMUSE. It is the mirror science workshop of the BlueMUSE
Science Workshop. It is an opportunity to engage the
community and push forward the BlueMUSE project. <br>

program will include a few overview and invited
talks but the large majority will be dedicated to
individual contributions and scientific discussions.<br>
</font></font></font></font><br>
We are specifically seeking input from the community on
specific science cases where BlueMUSE will have a strong
impact due to its uniqueness. <br>
