Abstract :
[en] We describe an international project of construction and operation of a 4 m Liquid Mirror Telescope (LMT) led by E. Borra. A LMT, whose main advantage is its very low cost, is particularly well suited for the search and study of gravitational lenses, type Ia supernovae, faint nearby red, brown and white dwarfs, halo stars with high proper motions and, more generally, all variable phenomena like quasars, variable stars, micro-lensing effects, etc.
