Abstract
Spaceborne instrumentation such as IRAS and ISO satellites have opened the mid—infrared range to widespread scientific exploitation. New insights are given to diverse areas such as star formation, protoplanetary disks, dust chemistry, starburst activity, ultraluminous galaxies, AGNs, etcl. Many problems though remain unsolved due to the poor spatial resolution provided by the small size of the space telescopes. We briefly mention here few of the most outstanding results in the extragalactic field, in particular those in which the contribution of the GTC + Canari—Cam would result unvaluable.
