Guzman (U.Fl.), J. Gallego (UCM), R. Pelló (LAOMP)	The Galaxy Origins and Young Assembly (\\textsc{goya}) survey  is designed to study the formation and evolution of $1<z<3$ galaxies with the aim of learning on the epoch and the mechanisms by which galaxies assembled the bulk of their stars and acquired their present structure and dynamics. Since 1998 \\textsc{goya} has been the scientific driver behind \\textsc{emir}, an ambitious common-user near-infrared multi-object spectrograph for GranTeCan, and as a result it will benefit from half its guaranteed time. In preparation for the exploitation of \\textsc{emir}, in 2000 we started a deep near-infrared photometric survey, for sample selection and characterisation. Now that this research has reached its final stages, we report here on
its current status and its finalisation plans. Overall, this survey has images of $\\sim 0.5$ square degrees of high-latitude sky to limiting \\textsc{ab} magnitude $Ks=23.7$ (3-$\\sigma$, 1\\hbox{$^{\\prime\\prime}$}\\xspace aperture) and corresponding depths at $U, B, V, R, I$ and $J$.
