Auditorium Nazionale INAF "Ernesto Capocci" (INAF - Osservatorio Astronomico di Capodimonte)

This science SOXS consortium meeting aims to start discussions about the SOXS science and Guarantee Time Observations (GTO), in preparation for the internal proposals. In the first day, we will describe the instrument capabilities, ETC, pipeline, and the SOXS operation model. The next two days will be dedicated to exploit the scientific capabilities of SOXS with respect the different science cases.
