The 2018 Euclid UK meeting will be held in Oxford on Monday 17th –  Tuesday 18th December.  The motivation of this meeting is to bring together the UK Euclid community to discuss the wide range of science areas that are being developed, including both the primary and legacy science.  There will be short updates on mission status, but the focus will be on ongoing science exploitation within the UK.
