will enhance the capabilities of different optical and near-infrared spectrographs at the GMT by feeding fibres and providing simultaneous observations. MANIFEST science is a collaborative effort of GMT consortium members spreading over different international
universities and research institutions. The MANIFEST science community has been engaged since 2018 and has shown deep interest in the fibre-fed and multi-interface facility for the GMT. MANIFEST has five broad science themes:</span></p>
