The AKARI Deep Field South: A New Home for Multiwavelength Extagalactic
  Astronomy
  The importance of multiwavelength astronomical surveys is discussed in the
context of galaxy evolution. The AKARI Deep Field South (ADF-S) is a new, well
placed survey field that is already the subject of studies at a wide range of
wavelengths. A number of ADF-S observational programmes are discussed and the
prospects for the ADF-S as a future resource for extragalactic astronomy is
explored.
