Abstract
The Gaia-ESO Survey is using FLAMES at the VLT to observe more than 10^{5} stars. Giraffe medium-resolution spectra is being obtained for ∼ 10^{5} stars and high-resolution UVES spectra is being obtained for ∼ 5000 stars. Here I present a short summary of the Survey with emphasis on the sample of FGK-type stars being observed with UVES.
