<span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">The High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph (HRMOS) is a proposed facility instrument for ESO’s VLT, following the initial presentation at the VLT 2030 workshop. HRMOS provides a combination of capabilities
essential to carry out breakthrough science across a broad range of active research areas from
<b>Galactic and Local Group Archaeology to Stellar Astrophysics</b> <b>and Exoplanet
</b>studies. HRMOS fills a gap in capabilities amongst the landscape of future instrumentation planned for the next decade. The key capability of HRMOS is high spectral resolution (R = 60,000 - 80,000) with multi-object (50-100) capabilities and stability that
provides radial velocity precision (~10m/s). Initial designs predict a SNR=30 is achievable within 1hr for mag(AB) = 17-18 depending on resolution. The combination of high resolution and multiplex going to relatively bluer wavelengths (from 380nm), is truly
a spectrograph that will push the boundaries of our knowledge and is envisioned as a workhorse instrument in the future.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-family:"Helvetica Neue";color:black">This conference aims to bring together the International scientific community, to propose and discuss science projects where HRMOS will have a strong impact due to its unparalleled capabilities, as well
as identifying the areas where it will provide unique synergies with existing and forthcoming large surveys and facilities such as 4MOST, WEAVE, MOONS and the ELTs.
