Descripción
We present the current status of our knowledge on the photospheric
abundances of massive blue stars (with spectral types O-A) in the Milky
Way and Local Group galaxies, and the implications of these for stellar
and galactic structure and evolution. We also consider possible
extensions of this project to observe individual stars in galaxies
beyond the Local Group. Finally, we indicate how the VLT and a number of
its instruments (mainly FORS, UVES and FLAMES/GIRAFFE) will help advance
these studies.
