WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope, is a proposed 12-metre-class telescope built for wide-field multi-object spectroscopy. It is currently being designed, and the astronomical community is being consulted on its science case. WST would pair a very large mirror with the ability to take spectra of tens of thousands of objects at once, making possible much larger surveys of galaxies, stars and transient events than today's facilities allow.

CamCEAD is contributing to the design of the WST data systems. We bring our experience of building complete pipeline and archive systems for WEAVE, 4MOST and other large spectroscopic surveys. WST would be the next big step after the current generation of survey spectrographs.
