It is almost a decade since the current set of 8m-class
telescopes saw first light, and the observatories are now achieving a
level of maturity in their instrument suites and scientific output.
The Gemini Observatory and Subaru Telescope have several ongoing
research activities across the facilities, including an exchange of
observing time on our three 8-m telescopes, leading to an increasing
level of synergy. In May 2009 a joint Subaru-Gemini conference will be
held in Kyoto with the goals to better understand the science and
instrument paths of the observatories, and to explore areas of
collaborations. I present the current and future instrument suite of
Gemini and science highlights, and encourage discussion of the possible
future collaborations between the observatories.
