This enormous observational effort, in combination with the availability of mature stellar atmosphere codes for massive stars, is making it possible a considerable -- and still on-going -- increase in the amount of available information about stellar parameters, magnetism, and multiplicity in the full O and B star domain.</span></p>

One of the immediate objectives of the project is to perform a thorough empirical characterization of the whole sample (including spectroscopic-physical parameters and abundances). Eventually, this wealth of information will be conveniently used to investigate the impact that parameters in addition to mass, rotation and stellar winds -- such as binarity/multiplicity, magnetic fields, or stellar oscillations -- have on the physical and wind properties of massive stars, as well as on the evolution of these important astrophysical objects. In this endeavor, the IACOB project has established a strong collaboration with the complementary southern high-resolution survey OWN.</span></p>
