Madrid, 21-23 March 2012
A science workshop sponsored by the Spanish Astronomical Infrastructure Network (RIA). Two back-to-back
workshops at the same venue, to exploit complementarities: (1) Spanish ICTS contributions to ESA's
Gaia mission, and (2) Science with the optical-infrared telescopes at CAHA and ORM in the coming
decade.
