Abstract.

The Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey is an effort to orchestrate limiting observations of a northern (HDF-N) and a southern (CDF-S) field, totalling some 300arcmin 2, with the most powerful telescopes over the widest possible wavelength range. Based on a SIRTF Legacy, an HST (ACS) Treasury, and ESO Large Programmes, many other data sets - including very deep X-ray observations with CHANDRA and NEWTON - will be coordinated to provide a public database with which to address fundamental questions concerning the formation and evolution of galaxies and AGN. The survey will provide a comprehensive picture of the history of galaxies from early epochs until the relatively recent past and will form the springboard for future investigations with the NGST and ALMA.
