DESCRIPTION:EMU is a wide-field radio continuum survey planned for the Aus
 tralian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP) telescope.  Beginning in
  2013 EMU will map the entire Southern Sky\, extending as far North as +30
  degrees declination\, down to 10 microJy rms covering 1100-1400 MHz.  EMU
  will cover roughly the same fraction (75%) of the sky as NVSS\, but will 
 be 45 times more sensitive\, and will have an angular resolution (10 arcse
 c) five times better.  There will be approximately 70 million radio source
 s detected and catalogued\, including star forming galaxies out to z=1\, p
 owerful starbursts to z>1\, and AGNs to the edge of the Universe.  EMU wil
 l overlap with upcoming optical and infrared surveys (i.e. SkyMapper\, WIS
 E) making EMU a resource for all astronomers.  EMU is an open collaboratio
 n of 180 members from 14 countries.  This presentation will describe the k
 ey science drivers of the survey\, outline the data release process\, high
 light some of the science currently being completed to help EMU achieve it
 s science goals\, and provide an update on current progress.
