Abstract
VANDELS is a uniquely deep VLT spectroscopic survey of high-redshift galaxies, carefully designed to exploit
the multi-wavelength imaging and near-IR grism spectroscopy available in the CANDELS UDS and CDFS
fields. Our aim is to move beyond redshift acquisition, obtaining spectra with high enough signal-to-noise
to derive metallicities and velocity offsets from absorption and emission lines, allowing a detailed investigation of the physics of galaxies in the early Universe.
