The JWST Cosmic Origins Survey COSMOS-Web is designed to leave no stone unturned for deep, wide extragalactic surveys – eliminating cosmic variance and resulting in an order of magnitude more early Universe galaxies than all other Hubble+Webb surveys combined, thus significantly constraining the shape of the bright end of the UV luminosity function and mapping the early cosmic web. It will be the primary legacy dataset from Webb for the extragalactic community by providing quick public releases of multi-band, high-resolution near-IR imaging of half a million galaxies (and an unprecedented 32,000 in the midIR) thus enabling innumerable legacy science projects. Conducting this next level ambitious survey now is crucial given the finite lifetime of Webb and the need to plan swift follow-up of its unique discoveries.
