Descripción
Massive stars are key ingredients in the evolution of the Universe. Yet, important uncertainties and limits persist in our understanding of these objects, even in their early phases, limiting their application as tools to interpret the Universe. Here we review some of these open questions and argue that large samples are needed to answer them, both in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies. Multi-object spectroscopy plays a crucial role in this process.
