Abstract
ESO’s VLT Interferometer is quickly ramping up to its full potential as the first instruments covering the near and mid IR are deployed and the 8m telescopes are equipped with state-of-the-art adaptive optics systems. I will review the expected scientific benefits of such improvements and outline the next steps in the continuing quest for higher spatial resolution and sensitivity.
