Abstract
It is shown that the VLT, in combination with the planned Multifibre Area Spectrograph, can bring a bulk of new basic information on the Galactic Bulge, unobtainable in a reasonable time with 4m class telescopes. Such information would be of great interest for extragalactic astrophysics too, because of the deep connection between bulges, starbursts and the QSO phenomenon.
