Part III Wednesday 15 July 14:50-15:05 HIRES: High Resolution optical-infrared Spectrograph (E-ELT) Livia Origlia (INAF Bologna, Italy) HIRES is the project of a high resolution spectrograph with wide, simultaneous spectral coverage from the optical to the near infrared for the E-ELT. It follows the previous Phase A studies of CODEX and SIMPLE, accordingly to the new ESO roadmap for the first generation of E-ELT instruments. An overview of the science case, of the top level requirements, and of the modular instrument concept will be presented.
