These large collaborative surveys within Europe target many of the fundamental questions in astrophysics today, ranging from the nature of dark energy to the universality of the stellar initial mass function. Here we present the Public Survey projects and give information on the mechanisms that ESO has set in place to manage them, to ensure their legacy value and their usefulness for the astronomical community at large.</p> <ul> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/sciencePublicSurveys.html">Public surveys projects</a><ul> <li><a href="/sci/meetings/2010/vst-review.html">VST Realignment Review</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/policies.html">Policies</a></li> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/phase2publicsurveys.html" adhocenable="false">Phase 2</a><ul> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/PIworkshop2008.html">ESO Public Surveys Phase 2 workshop</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/sci/activities/vistasv/VISTA_SV.html">VISTA Science Verification</a></li> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/SurveyProgress.html" adhocenable="false">Survey progress</a></li> <li>Survey data processing</li> <li><a href="/sci/observing/phase3.html">Phase 3</a><ul> <li><a href="/sci/observing/phase3/workshop2010.html">ESO Public Surveys Phase 3 workshop</a></li> <li><a adhocenable="false" href="http://www.eso.org/sci/observing/phase3/data_releases.html">Phase 3 Data Products</a> </li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="/sci/observing/PublicSurveys/useful_links.html">Survey useful links</a></li> </ul> <ul> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>  <div class="footer">  <div id="footer"> <div id="footerupdate"> <table> <tbody> <tr> <th>Last Update: 13.06.14 © ESO</th> <td><a href="mailto:usd-help@eso.org"> Send us your comments</a> | <a href="/sci/publications/newsletter.html">Subscribe to Newsletter</a> | <a href="/sci/privacy.html">Privacy Statement</a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div>  </div> </div>  </div>   <script type="text/javascript"> var _paq = _paq || []; /* tracker methods like "setCustomDimension" should be called before "trackPageView" */ _paq.push(['trackPageView']); _paq.push(['enableLinkTracking']); (function() { var u="/mtmo/"; _paq.push(['setTrackerUrl', u+'piwik.php']); _paq.push(['setSiteId', '1']); var d=document, g=d.createElement('script'), s=d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; g.type='text/javascript'; g.async=true; g.defer=true; g.src=u+'piwik.js'; s.parentNode.insertBefore(g,s); })(); </script>  </body> </html>
