The main interest of the science team for the exploitation of the MEGARA instrument at the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias (GTC)
is devoted to the study of nearby galaxies. The focus lies on researching the history of star formation, and the chemical and kinematical
properties of disc systems. We refer to this project as MEGADES: the MEGARA galaxy disc evolution survey. The initial goal of
MEGADES is to provide a detailed study of the inner regions of nearby disc galaxies in terms of their spectrophotometric and chemical
evolution, and to provide a dynamical characterisation by distinguishing the contribution of in situ and ex situ processes to the history of
star formation and effective chemical enrichment of these regions. In addition, the dynamical analysis of these inner regions naturally
includes the identification and characterisation of galactic winds that might be present in these regions. At a later stage, we will extend
this study farther out in galactocentric distance. The first stage of this project encompasses the analysis of the central regions of 43
nearby galaxies observed with the MEGARA integral field unit for ∼114 h, including both guaranteed time and open time observations.
In this paper we provide a set of all the processed data products available to the community and early results from the analysis of these
data regarding stellar continuum and ionised and neutral gas features.
