Abstract
The WHT Enhanced Area Velocity Explorer is a high multiplex,
multi-object spectrograph that will equip the prime focus of the WHT
4.2m telescope. The instrument is currently in the construction phase
and several components have already been procured. I will give a short
overview of the instrument and of the project and its status. The French
participation is done through CNRS - Institut National des Sciences de
l'Univers and the technical activity is carried out, at this stage, at
GEPI, Observatoire de Paris.
