wavelengths, <strong>and</strong> high resolution imaging. For an efficient synergy, a significant amount<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Herschel</strong> time should be devoted to legacy projects early in <strong>the</strong> life <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> satellite. For<br />
galactic sources, sensitivity is less critical. There could be very large-scale surveys or deep<br />
targeted surveys <strong>of</strong> selected objects. Before full <strong>ALMA</strong> operation, <strong>ESO</strong> should consider<br />
carrying out large, very deep surveys with ground-based sub-mm single dishes equipped<br />
with large bolometer cameras.<br />
For ESA, <strong>the</strong> most pressing need is for a coordination <strong>of</strong> large surveys planned in <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Herschel</strong> guaranteed time. This includes both large scale <strong>and</strong> targeted surveys. ESA must<br />
have a clear policy <strong>of</strong> data rights. Ideally ESA should provide access to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Herschel</strong> data<br />
during <strong>the</strong> satellite’s lifetime. This includes data files, calibration information <strong>and</strong> a pipeline<br />
for data reduction.<br />
For both organisations, <strong>the</strong> most important task is to coordinate <strong>the</strong> large surveys that<br />
are planned in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Herschel</strong> guaranteed time by means <strong>of</strong> dedicated conferences or workshops.<br />
