DESCRIPTION:The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)\, scheduled for launch i
 n October 2018\, will be one of the great observatories of the next decade
 .  JWST and its suite of 4 instruments will provide imaging\, spectroscopi
 c and coronagraphic capabilities over the 0.6 to 28.5 micron wavelength ra
 nge and will offer an unprecedented combination of sensitivity and spatial
  resolution to study targets ranging from our solar system to the most dis
 tant galaxies.\n\nIn this seminar\, I will first give an overview of the c
 apabilities of the mission and present its latest status.  I will then giv
 e some details on the scientific timeline and the organisation of the firs
 t observation cycle that should be of interest for future observers.\n
