MIDI was designed to open the mid-infrared wavelength regime to the VLTI. It allows to resolve and study the warm regions of dusty discs around young stellar objects in great detail due to the perfect match between the spatial resolution provided by the VLTI and the size of the regions dominating in the N-band. The recent years thus consequently lead to new insights into the circumstellar environments of a wide variety of pre-main-sequence stars.
