Abstract The proposal aims at developing enabling technologies and concepts supporting the eventual design and construction of a European extremely large optical and infrared telescope, with a diameter in the 50- to 100-m range. To this end, it builds on current European leadership and gathers resources accross the European academic and industrial communities for a preparatory effort on crucial components, subsystems and concepts. The technology development programme which is the subject of this proposal is expected to span over the 2004-2008 period.
