This paper summarizes the status, opportunities and some future policy initiatives relevant to future multi-wavelength/multi-messenger (MW/MM) astrophysics. This summary is considered timely given the ramp-up in facilities and widening exploration of physics across the electromagnetic spectrum and beyond.

The MOONS instrument possesses an exceptional combination of large multiplexing, high sensitivity, broad simultaneous spectral coverage (from optical to near-infrared bands), large patrol area and high fibre density. These properties provide the unprecedented potential of enabling, for the very first time, SDSS-like surveys around Cosmic Noon...
